Another Man's Wife and a Husband Under the Bed - Fyodor Dostoevsky - Bog

When the protagonist Ivan Ilyich Pralinsky drinks a little bit too much with his colleagues one day, he expresses his desire for a philosophy founded upon the value of kindness and charity to those who are worse off than oneself. After he leaves, Ivan encounters a wedding celebration, which turns to be that of one of his underlings at work, and his new philosophy is put to the test when he gatecrashes the festivities. Also translated as ¿A Nasty Story¿, ¿An Unpleasant Predicament¿ is a satirical story that will appeal to fans of short stories and the work of this seminal author in particular.
