Poor people

The novella "Poor Folk" was a successful debut for the writer. The love story of Makar Devushkin and Varenka Dobroselova immediately captured the hearts of readers and even established writers, who saw a new Gogol in the young writer. The petty concerns of minor officials are portrayed with such humanism that inevitably evoke sympathy and compassion from readers. In the novella "The Double," the writer's talent shone with new facets. Fyodor Dostoevsky continued the classical tradition by embodying the theme of duality, which has existed in world literature for several centuries. You will witness the streets of St. Petersburg come to life, learn about the life of bureaucratic St. Petersburg, the adventures of Mr. Golyadkin, and most importantly, the materialization of the dark demonic side of the main character's personality, very much in the spirit of Stevenson's characters - Mr. Jekyll and Dr. Hyde.
