Poor Folk

Two voices. One fragile correspondence. A portrait of poverty written with power and compassion.

Poor Folk is Dostoevsky's stunning debut novel, presented in epistolary form through letters exchanged between Makar Devushkin, a downtrodden government clerk, and his distant cousin, Varvara Dobroselova. Through their humble words, the novel reveals the struggles of the poor in tsarist Russia—not just materially, but emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

With sharp social commentary, emotional vulnerability, and the early signs of Dostoevsky's psychological genius, Poor Folk is a powerful meditation on class, dignity, and the human condition.
