Summary

Two lonely souls. One shared hardship. A love written in letters that reveal everything they fear to say aloud.
Told through intimate correspondence, Poor Folk follows humble clerk Makar Devushkin and young Varenka Dobroselova as they struggle against poverty, humiliation, and the quiet sorrow of life on society's margins. Their letters—filled with hope, shame, affection, and unspoken longing—create a portrait of human dignity that glows even in the darkest circumstances.

Praised as "a stunning debut that announced Dostoevsky's genius," this novel blends social critique with deep emotional insight. Readers cherish its tenderness, realism, and the aching beauty of two people trying to comfort each other when the world offers them nothing.

If you love heartfelt stories, powerful character voices, and classics that illuminate the resilience of the human spirit, this novel will move you deeply.

Open the letters—and witness a love sustained by hope when everything else seems lost.
