Poor Folk, the author's first great literary triumph, is the story of a tragic relationship between an impoverished copy clerk and a young seamstress, told through their passionate letters to each other. In The Landlady Dostoyevsky portrays a dreamer hero who is captivated by a curious couple and becomes their lodger. Mr Prokharchin, inspired by a true story, is a sly comedy centring on an eccentric miser, and Polzunkov is a powerful character sketch which, in common with the other tales in this volume, questions the very nature of existence.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: David McDuffContributor: David McDuff (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 1988 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
