A Superb Early Story

How incredible an early story by the great Dostoevsky!

If you’re interested in clues of where Dostoevsky is headed in his first produced writings, you’ll enjoy mining the techniques, strategies, uses of vocabulary here. Or if you’re simply interested in a superb short story, you’ll be much pleased with this effort.

The narration is excellent as well.

Narrator Issue

I wish the voices of the characters were more clearly different. Sometimes it became hard to decipher who was who.

Ok

It’s no Chekhov and I hated their moment of love but the final outcome was redemptive for story

Such a simple and emotional piece of literature.

If you want an introduction to Dostoevsky, then this may be the perfect option for you. The story of loneliness, love, and despair has a deep impact for a small text. You can go as deep with this piece as you would like. Enjoy!

a moment of bliss

why isn’t that enough for a whole lifetime?? (insert of more words to reach the minimum text box requirement)
