Poor Folk ~ Paperback ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dostoevsky was still a student when he started writing Poor Folk. His parents were very hard-working, but so poor that they lived with their five children in only two rooms. This story was published by the established poet of the time Nekrassov in his review and was received with acclamations. The shy, unknown youth Fyodor Dostoyevsky found himself instantly something of a celebrity.
