Dostoyevsky, Fyodor - The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Published in by The Folio Society in 2021. Quarter-bound in blocked buckram, with printed cloth sides. Set in Ehrhardt with Latin Condensed display. 272 pages. 7 integrated full-page woodcut mono illustrations. Plain slipcase. 9.5" x 6.25". Seven of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's greatest works of shorter fiction are presented in this striking Folio Society collector's edition, illustrated with Harry Brockway's wood engravings and introduced by author Joyce Carol Oates. David Magarshack's translation captures the nuance and soul of Dostoyevsky's original Russian text like no other, and it was the only translation considered for our edition. Likewise, when it came to selecting an illustrator, it was a unanimous decision. Renowned artist Harry Brockway has worked on many Folio titles; his intricate work displaying incredible skill and understanding of the subject matter. Each of the seven engravings shows a vignette from the story it illustrates, with the facial expressions, attire and surroundings of the characters accurately and boldly depicted. Brockway's woodcuts also decorate the binding. )
