Description

"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.
