Arme Leute; Der Doppelgänger : Zwei Romane by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"Arme Leute" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds through a series of letters exchanged between Makar Alexejewitsch Djewuschkin and Warwara Alexejewna Dobrosseloff, two impoverished individuals navigating the struggles of life in St. Petersburg. This poignant epistolary tale explores themes of love, loneliness, and social class, reflecting Dostoyevsky's deep psychological insight and acute observation of human relationships. At the start of the novel, readers
are introduced to Makar Djewuschkin, who expresses his joy over a small gesture from Warwara, indicating a budding connection between them. They share their everyday lives filled with hardship and a longing for affection, as Makar finds solace in the thought of Warwara despite their grim circumstances. The opening portion establishes a tone that mixes warmth with melancholy, showcasing their tender exchanges and the stark realities they face, setting the stage for a deeper examination of their relationship and the societal challenges that afflict them.
