Présentation de l'éditeur

Written in nine months during his twenty-fifth year, Poor Folk is Dostoevsky’s first novel and earned the celebrated author his earliest bouts of critical acclaim. Composed in the form of written correspondence between two second cousins living across the street from one another, Poor Folk details many of the terrible living conditions common to urban life in nineteenth century Russia. Earning Dostoevsky his esteem as a socially conscious author, Poor Folk remains a powerful rumination on familial bonds and their endurance through poverty and want.
