The story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is not so long for reading as the most famous novel of this Russian writer "Crime and Punishment". For readers who had never read the works of this author, this story might be a good start for reading.
The narration was written from the perspective of one person who is sure that he is ridiculous. He was thinking about committing suicide when one girl on the streets of Saint-Petersburg asked him to help. He was ashamed that he didn't help. Everything looked bad...before he fell asleep.
He saw the world in his dream differently. The depression disappeared. He said in the last line of his narration:
"And I tracked down that little girl…and I shall go on and on!"
