Poor Folk

Poor Folk

Description of the book

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; although he had produced some translations of foreign novels, they had little success and he decided to write a novel of his own to try to raise funds. Poor Folk is an epistolary novel -- that is, a tale told as a series of letters between the characters. And oh, what characters these are!
