It chronicles the experiences of a man who decides that there is nothing of any value in the world. Slipping into nihilism with the \"terrible anguish\" he is determined to commit suicide. A chance encounter with a young girl, however, begins the man on a journey that re-instills a love for his fellow man. It was first published in A Writer's Diary. A BBC production called \"The Dream\" (1990) was adapted by Murray Watts from \"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man\". \"The Dream\" is a monologue. The director was Norman Stone (\"Shadowlands\") and it stars Jeremy Irons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Constance Garnett, Dostoyevsky Mikhailovich Fyodor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544838913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544838915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.05d","brand":"Constance Garnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938397487359,"sku":"9781544838915","price":6.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_765290c7-3b18-4ad5-94c4-5c1976a08467.jpg?v=1681435448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dream-of-a-ridiculous-constance-garnett-9781544838915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
