Short stories
A Christmas ball sets the plans in motion for the wealthy Julian Mastakovich. For an immensely wealthy business man has just announced that his daughter has a dowry of 300,000 rubles.
First published in 1848, and adapted into a motion picture in 2000, Dostoyevsky shines a light on the business end of well-moneyed marriage. It begins when an 11-year-old girl gets an extravagant doll at a Christmas ball.
