A Writer's Diary: Two Volumes 1873-1881. Translated and Annotated by Kenneth Lantz with an Introductory Study by Gary Saul Mors.
London: Quartet Books, 1995. First Printings of the First UK Edition. Both volumes are Fine unread copies in Fine bright dust jackets. These diaries contain some of "Dostoyevsky's greatest short fiction...semi-fiction, sketches and articles." This collection of writings that has been called Dostoevsky's boldest experiment with literary form; it is a uniquely encyclopedic forum of fictional and nonfictional genres. The Diary's radical format was matched by the extreme range of its contents. In a single frame it incorporated an astonishing variety of material: short stories; humorous sketches; reports on sensational crimes; historical predictions; portraits of famous people; autobiographical pieces; and plans for stories, some of which were never written while others appeared in the Diary itself.
