Synopsis

When youthful ideals collide with the complexities of life, the result is both inspiring and tragic.
Also known as The Adolescent, Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Raw Youth is a profound exploration of ambition, morality, and the search for purpose. The story follows Arkady Dolgoruky, a 19-year-old illegitimate son of a wealthy landowner, who dreams of achieving greatness through his self-proclaimed "idea." Yet his path is fraught with family conflict, romantic entanglements, and the stark realities of society.

First published in 1875, this novel blends Dostoevsky's signature psychological depth with themes of generational tension, personal honor, and the lure of material wealth. Through Arkady's journey, Dostoevsky examines the fragile line between youthful purity and the compromises of adulthood.

"A rich, complex, and deeply human portrait of youth's dreams and disillusionments."
– The Guardian

"Dostoevsky at his most introspective and philosophical."
– The New York Times

Perhaps being a fellow traveller in a coach or a train carriage and realising, whether in a sudden jolt or a slowly rising uneasy feeling of horror, that your fellow occupants might not actually be from this world, but more probably from the next, would be such a situation.
