Poor Folk Book by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Farsi)

Description

"Poor Folk," or "Poor People" ("Бедные люди" in Russian), is Fyodor Dostoevsky's first novel, written in the form of letters and published in 1846. The story unfolds through the correspondence between two characters, Makar Devushkin, a low-ranking civil servant, and Varvara Dobroselova, a young woman in dire financial straits. Set in St. Petersburg, the novel paints a poignant picture of poverty and the struggles of its characters. Devushkin, who is deeply infatuated with Dobroselova, strives to help her financially despite his own limited means. The narrative delves into their daily lives, capturing the emotional and psychological toll of poverty on their spirits. While "Poor Folk" lacks the philosophical depth of Dostoevsky's later works, it serves as a compassionate exploration of the human condition in the face of economic hardship.
