Rendition Supposing Books Poor Folk
Poor Folk is an epistolary novel -- that is, a tale told as a series of letters between the characters. And oh, what characters these are! Makar Dievushkin Alexievitch is a copy writer, barely squeaking by; Barbara Dobroselova Alexievna works as a seamstress, and both face the sort of everyday humiliation society puts upon the poor. These are people respected by no one, not even by themselves. These are folks too poor, in their circumstances, to marry; the love between them is a chaste and proper thing, a love that brings some readers to tears. But it isn't maudlin, either; Fyodor Dostoevsky has something profound to say about these people and this circumstance. And he says it very well. When the book was first published a leading Russian literary critic of the day -- Belinsky -- prophesied that Dostoevsky would become a literary giant. It isn't hard to see how he came to that conclusion, and in hindsight, he was surely was correct.Mention Containing Books Poor Folk

I've always said that a writer has done a really good job if years after you've read his book you'll still remember the feelings it has given you. Dostoyevsky did an amazing job.I read this one a long time ago. I loved the atmosphere so very much! Maybe it's just reminds me of nostalgic times and makes me feel sympathy for it, but the narrative sweeps you with it's pleasant stream.There was something unusual in this story and I can't quite put my finger on it; perhaps it was the language in
This is a ridiculous book. It is the letters exchanged between a poor old man and a poor young woman who live in the same housing complex but who rarely see each other for the sake of propriety. It's basically something like this:"Oh Makar this week I lost my job and I'm running out of cash and I'm feeling so sick that I just might die! Whatever shall I do!""Oh Varvara, you poor child.

Dostoevsky's first novel, "Poor Folk". The exchange of letters is between an old servant who will soon find themselves in retirement, Macaire Alexeievitch Devushkin, and a girl who lives a few blocks away and for whom he designed a mid tenderness - father, mi - amorous but never unhealthy, Varvara Alexeievna Dobrossiélova. Both parents are quite far way and both, despite their difference in age and status, must fight every day to buy food - and yet modest manner.If Alexander Herzen, the "father
Certainly one of the most amazing debuts in literature. I found the structure ingenious (and it isn't all letters written back and forth between two people, as book blurbs may have one believe), and I particularly liked the relative avoidance of histrionics that popped up occasionally in Dosty's other novels I've read (in Crime and Punishment, although overall very good, a man kills then proceeds with a "woe is me" theme which, at times, I wanted to scream: 'Well, good grief, you kill people!').
