关于此电子书
"Poor Folk" is the first novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, written over the span of nine months between 1844 and 1845. Dostoyevsky was in financial difficulty because of his extravagant living and his developing gambling addiction. Varvara Dobroselova and Makar Devushkin are second cousins twice-removed and live across from each other on the same street in terrible apartments. Devushkin's, for example, is merely a portioned-off section of the kitchen, and he lives with several other tenants, such as the Gorshkovs, whose son who groans in agonising hunger almost the entire story and eventually dies. Devushkin and Dobroselova exchange letters attesting to their terrible living conditions and the former frequently squanders his money on gifts for her.
作者简介
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) stands as a towering figure in world literature, renowned for his profound psychological insight and exploration of existential themes. Born in Moscow, Dostoyevsky's early life was marked by tragedy and hardship, including the death of his mother and the brutal murder of his father. These experiences profoundly shaped his worldview and literary voice.Dostoyevsky's career was punctuated by dramatic highs and lows. He was arrested in 1849 for his involvement with a group of utopian socialists and sentenced to death, only to be reprieved at the last moment and sent to a Siberian labor camp. This harrowing experience deeply influenced his later works, infusing them with themes of suffering, redemption, and the human condition.His novels, such as "Crime and Punishment," "The Idiot," and "The Brothers Karamazov," delve into the complexities of morality, free will, and the nature of evil. Dostoyevsky's characters often grapple with intense psychological and philosophical dilemmas, reflecting his own struggles with epilepsy, gambling addiction, and profound spiritual crises.Controversial in his time, Dostoyevsky's works were initially met with mixed reactions, criticized for their dark themes and complex narrative structures. However, his influence on contemporary literature is undeniable. Writers like Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, and James Joyce drew inspiration from his deep psychological and existential inquiries.Dostoyevsky's revolutionary ideas about the human psyche and his exploration of the darkest corners of the human soul continue to resonate with modern readers, making him a timeless and essential figure in the literary canon. His life and works remain a testament to the enduring power of literature to explore and illuminate the human experience.
