  Excellent selection of Dostoevsky's short works, masterfully translated by David Magarshack. Seriously, if you can get a hold of a Magarshack translation of Dosty's longer works, it's well worth your effort. Magarshack knows how to convey Dostoevksy's tone and word choice. I completely prefer his translations to the new "sexier" Pevear/Volkonsky translations.
