Olga Meerson's book ranks as one of the highlights of Dostoevsky criticism simply because it furnishes a key not only to Dostoevsky's idea of human subjectivity but to his narrative technique as well.

My favorite of all 5 books I received! Very nice quality paper. I read this over and over. What is most bizarre though is that he frequently states that Adam Smith's system creates an "optimistic world" and criticizes opposition to Adam Smith by labeling them as "pessimistic" or such. But things aren't as they appear, and soon Hugh, the Lady and Miss are forced to go on the run, avoiding assassins and intrigue, and a plot to kill the Lady, Valeria.
