I recently learned of two Dostoevsky stories which, as far as I know, are not available for public distribution, but any details on them would be much appreciated.  The first of these, "Out Of The Service," may be an alternative translation of something else that has already been disseminated.  I know absolutely nothing about it (whether it's a short story or longer project, etc), but would very much like to learn more.  The second of these, "Story of Father Nilus," is referenced in a "Demons" footnote (Robert A. Maguire edition, footnote #6 of "At Tikhon's").  But, it does not seem to be readily available anywhere else.  Does anyone have any information on these texts?

 I doubt the on line translation will make any sense.

I could only interpret a vague outline from the interpretation, but it seems to have a good deal in common with "A Gentle Creature."  Thanks for posting, RR.

 Carnage there are more stuff of Dostoesvky that is not translated in English. Very deep phylosophycal stuff you have not read.

I see...perhaps it is time to seriously consider learning the language.

 You gotta do it. I read the English translations and my eyes pop out. They cheat on your intelligence.
