Poor Folk by Fyodor Dostoevsky: Epitome Abridged by Pietro Caracciolo

Poor Folk is Fyodor Dostoevsky's first novel, a compelling epistolary work that explores the struggles of poverty and human dignity in 19th-century Russia.

Through the heartfelt letters exchanged between the humble government clerk Makar Devushkin and the destitute young woman Varvara Dobroselova, the novel reveals a touching story of love, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of social class. With a keen eye for psychological depth and societal critique, Dostoevsky lays the foundation for his later masterpieces.

This Epitome edition preserves the novel's emotional intensity and essential themes, making it accessible to modern readers.
