‘Poor Folk’ is the debut novel by the renowned Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was published in 1846 and is considered one of the earliest examples of psychological fiction in Russian literature.
The novel is presented as a series of letters exchanged between two impoverished characters: Makar Devushkin, a low-ranking civil servant, and Varvara Dobroselova, a young orphaned woman. Through their correspondence, the reader gains insight into their daily struggles, hopes, and dreams as they navigate the challenges of poverty and social isolation in 19th-century St. Petersburg.
As Makar and Varvara share their thoughts and experiences, a complex and poignant relationship develops between them. Makar, despite his own dire circumstances, becomes emotionally attached to Varvara and endeavors to support her in any way he can, often sacrificing his own well-being in the process.
Dostoevsky’s ‘Poor Folk’ is celebrated for its compassionate portrayal of the human condition, particularly the plight of the downtrodden and marginalized members of society. Through his vivid characterizations and insightful narrative, Dostoevsky offers a compelling exploration of poverty, loneliness, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of adversity.
