Dostoevsky in French (A Nasty Story)

[johnmortons]

hey words-forum, I've got a really random question, maybe some random guy/girl can help me out. I'd really appreciate it;

I am trying to find out whether there is a french translation of a particular story of Dostoevesky, namely, "A Nasty Story" (English title) but my lack of knowledge of dostoevsky and french have so far prevented any success...if anyone happens to know, that'd be great

may sound weird, but consulates are normally really helpful when it comes to these things. worth giving them a try.

I just did a bit of research.

Sure enough, there is a French translation, with the title Une sale histoire. Hardly surprising considering Dostoevsky's importance and influence. I cross-referenced the original Russian title, which is Скверный анекдот.

Here's a French translation for sale on amazon.fr:

There's even an audio book (lol):
