Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Poor Folk" is the first novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, published in 1846. The novel is written as a series of letters between two impoverished individuals in St. Petersburg, Makar Devushkin and Barbara Dobroselova. Makar is a middle-aged clerk, while Varvara is a young seamstress. The two characters develop a close relationship through their letters, sharing their struggles and dreams. Makar is in love with Barbara, but she does not reciprocate his feelings. Instead, she becomes engaged to a wealthy merchant, which devastates Makar. The novel explores themes of poverty, social inequality, and unrequited love. Dostoyevsky portrays the lives of the poor with sympathy and compassion, depicting their daily struggles and the emotional toll of their circumstances. Despite the novel's tragic ending, Dostoyevsky's portrayal of Makar and Barbara's relationship is touching and demonstrates the power of human connection in difficult circumstances.
