My uncle's dream / Fyodor Dostoevsky - هارد كفر

"Uncle's Dream" (Russian: Дядюшкин сон, Dyadyushkin son) is an 1859 novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was the first work he published after a significant hiatus due to his imprisonment and exile in Siberia. The novella was written during his stay in Semipalatinsk and first appeared in the Russian magazine Russkoye Slovo in 1859.

Set in the provincial town of Mordasov, the story revolves around Maria Alexandrovna Moskaleva, a formidable local socialite, who schemes to marry off her 23-year-old daughter, Zinaida, to the elderly and somewhat senile Prince K. The narrative delves into themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the intricate dynamics of small-town life, all portrayed with Dostoevsky's characteristic psychological insight and satirical touch.
