Poor People

The novella "Poor People" is a successful debut of the writer. The love story of Makari Devushkin and Varinka Dobroselova immediately captured the hearts of readers and even established writers who saw in the young author a new Gogol. The... minor concerns of small officials are depicted with such humanity that they inevitably evoke sympathy and compassion from the readers.
In the novella "The Double," the writer's talent shines with new facets. F. Dostoevsky continued the classical tradition, embodying the theme of duality, which has existed in world literature for several centuries. The streets of Petersburg will come alive before you, you will learn about the life of the bureaucratic Petersburg and the adventures of Mr. Goladykin, and most importantly, about the materialization of the dark demonic side of the main character's personality, very much in the spirit of Stevenson’s heroes — Mr. Jekyll and Dr. Hyde.
