Sinopse

"Poor Folk" is the debut novel by the renowned Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was published in 1846 and is considered one of the earliest examples of psychological fiction in Russian literature.

The novel is presented as a series of letters exchanged between two impoverished characters: Makar Devushkin, a low-ranking civil servant, and Varvara Dobroselova, a young orphaned woman. Through their correspondence, the reader gains insight into their daily struggles, hopes, and dreams as they navigate the challenges of poverty and social isolation in 19th-century St. Petersburg.

As Makar and Varvara share their thoughts and experiences, a complex and poignant relationship develops between them. Makar, despite his own dire circumstances, becomes emotionally attached to Varvara and endeavors to support her in any way he can, often sacrificing his own well-being in the process.

Dostoevsky's "Poor Folk" is celebrated for its compassionate portrayal of the human condition, particularly the plight of the downtrodden and marginalized members of society. Through his vivid characterizations and insightful narrative, Dostoevsky offers a compelling exploration of poverty, loneliness, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of adversity.

    Phil Broker’s latest adventure hits close to home, when he finds his estranged wife and daughter caught in a web of deception that may conceal a terrorist plot to bomb Minneapolis’s nuclear power plant 
    When Phil Broker’s estranged wife, Nina, and his daughter, Kit, disappeared months ago, he wasn’t surprised. Nina has a mysterious and dangerous job working for the government, and her work has taken her in harm’s way before. Broker sets out on a mission to find Nina and force her to choose between life as a soldier or a mother, and take Kit out of danger once and for all. 
    At the end of Vapor Trail, Broker learns that Kit has been abandoned by Nina at a motel in Langdon, North Dakota. But when he arrives, the situation is far more complicated than he imagined. Kit is, bizarrely, accompanied by a “babysitter” named Jane, who claims to be Nina’s estranged girlfriend. Buddy Yelton, a local legend and hopeless womanizer, has apparently taken up with Nina. But Buddy Yelton is no harmless local—he has hidden connections to the Aryan Nation, and possibly Middle Eastern terrorists as well. And two motel guests are equally mysterious—Broker can’t help thinking he remembers them as former GIs he knew back in Laos in ’72. Obviously, all is not as it appears—and more than Kit’s life is in danger—the fate of the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro area is in Broker’s hands.

    “The stories in this bewitching collection begin in the known world before tilting towards mystery and rebellion—a book full of pleasure and surprise.” —Aysegül Savas, author of The Anthropologists and Long Distance: Stories Startling, spellbinding stories, in which appearances and intentions are rarely what they seem from an exciting new voice in fiction.  A psychic harnesses her talent for animal communication to extract a perfect revenge. A stone appears in a woman’s pocket like a charm, only to end up lodged in her partner’s throat. A condescending artist, who considers his girlfriend too conventional, throws a dinner party where he’s served a painful and consequential truth.  Jess Gibson brings us twelve probing, sideways tales that wrestle with the limits of perception and possibility. The men and women in her stories confront contradictory forces: the beautiful can turn grotesque, the exalted can fall into disgrace, the genius can be proved an impostor.  Sharp, funny, surprising, and utterly original, The Good Eye announces a brilliant new voice in contemporary fiction.
