Бедные Люди by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Fyodor Dostoevsky
4.0

*Read for class.
3.75/5

Well, this is the first Dostoyevsky's novel I've actually finished. And it is the first or one of the first things he's ever written. Belinskiy - Russian critic at a time - after this very novel said that Dostoyevsky will be a great writer. As we all know now, he was totally right.

At first I thought it was very short and ended weirdly. Then I understood there was an intervention after the first half of letters and it all made sense.
It is a novel about small people, about their inner world, their feelings, thoughts. About small people also being people.

I'm very happy I've read this after we discussed it a little bit in class. Always makes you understand more about the book.
