Two voices. One fragile correspondence. A portrait of poverty written with power and compassion.
Poor Folk is Dostoevsky's stunning debut novel, presented in epistolary form through letters exchanged between Makar Devushkin, a downtrodden government clerk, and his distant cousin, Varvara Dobroselova. Through their humble words, the novel reveals the struggles of the poor in tsarist Russia-not just materially, but emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
With sharp social commentary, emotional vulnerability, and the early signs of Dostoevsky's psychological genius, Poor Folk is a powerful meditation on class, dignity, and the human condition.
