Dostoevsky's Dream of A Ridiculous Man
Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story Сон смешного человека translated into English as The Dream of a Ridiculous Man tells the story of a lonely and despairing man who has nothing to live for so he is on verge of ending it all when something incredible happens. The Dream of a Ridiculous Man was published in 1877, towards the end of Dostoevsky’s own life, two years before he published his greatest novel, The Brothers Karamazov and 4 years before his own death in 1881. So this short story came at a time when Dostoevsky had experienced life from the lowest of the low to the highest. As usual, I will tell you the story and discuss its themes and how it can teach us about the purpose of life. This is perhaps one of the most uplifting stories you will ever hear. So stay tuned until the very end, when everything is revealed that might bring tears to your eyes.
