Netochka Nezvanova by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

Dostoyevsky's "Netochka Nezvanova" (literally "nameless nobody") is an unfinished novel, comprised of only 7 chapters, which portrays the early formative years of the protagonist Netochka. The story is cut short because of Dostoyevsky's arrest in 1849 and his subsequent exile in a Siberian prison for having been a member of the Petrashevsky Circle in Sankt Petersburg. The novel was never completed after his release, as he started writing on other works.
