The Nile on eBay The Landlady by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Constance Garnett
After a brief military career, the illustrious Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky quickly turned to writing as a profession, sparking a literary career that would eventually cement Dostoyevsky’s reputation as one of the greatest novelists of the nineteenth century.

When Vasily enters a church he notices an old man, Ilia Murin, with his young wife, Katerina. He quickly becomes infatuated with the woman and contrives a set of circumstances which bring him to lodge at their home. There he begins to uncover the strange and suspicious circumstances of
