Ne "Il sogno di un uomo ridicolo", Fedor Dostoevskij esplora la ristrettezza, il cinismo e l'egoismo capaci di annientare un'esistenza, ma, alla fine, non così potenti da riuscirci.

Ambientato in una Pietroburgo livida e gelida, questo straordinario racconto di Dostoevskij è un piccolo gioiello di narrazione in cui si susseguono cambi di ambientazione continui e geniali trovate narrative.
