Paperback Penguin Little Black Classics English
By (author) Fyodor Dostoyevsky , Translated by Ronald Meyer


I could see that she was still terribly afraid, but I didnt soften anything; instead, seeing that she was afraid I deliberately intensified it.

In this short story, Dostoyevsky masterfully depicts desperation, greed, manipulation and suicide.
