The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

By Fyodor Dostoevsky & Tim Zengerink
The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky & Tim Zengerink digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

What if everything you thought about the world was a lie?

In The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, Fyodor Dostoevsky presents one of his most profound and visionary works. The story follows a man who has lost all faith in humanity. Convinced that nothing in life matters, he prepares to take his own life-until a mysterious dream reveals a world untouched by corruption, suffering, and greed. But when he witnesses the slow decay of this paradise, he awakens with a renewed mission: to share his revelation with the world, no matter how absurd or "ridiculous" he may seem.

Blending philosophy, psychology, and spirituality, Dostoevsky crafts a thought-provoking tale that challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs about morality, the purpose of existence, and the redemptive power of truth.
