The Crocodile

3.67 (2,415 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Fyodor Dostoevsky

The civil servant Ivan Matveich and his wife Yelena Ivanovna are spectators of an exhibition in a shopping arcade of a crocodile owned by a German, when Ivan is suddenly swallowed alive by the animal. Unsuccessful in his attempts to be freed from his prison, due to the Germans concern for his crocodile and excessive desire for compensation, the civil servant gradually comes to appreciate his new environment, while his wife begins to enjoy her new-found freedom. Inspired by Gogols surreal tales, Dostoevskys hilarious story has been interpreted by some as a vitriolic piece of social criticism and a veiled attack on the revolutionary philosopher Nikolai Chernyshevsky.
