The Meek One – Fyodor Dostoyevsky

A man. A confession. A tragedy he cannot undo.

The Meek One is one of Dostoyevsky's most haunting short works — a raw, intimate monologue of a husband trying to make sense of his young wife's death. Told in a single breathless night, it is a devastating portrait of pride, silence, and the love that comes too late.

Compact yet profound, this Readings Classics edition is a perfect introduction to Dostoyevsky's psychological genius.
