Poor Folk, the authorP#39;s first great literary triumph, is the story of a tragic relationship between an impoverished copy clerk and a young seamstress, told through their passionate letters to each other. In The Landlady Dostoyevsky portrays a dreamer hero who is captivated by a curious couple and becomes their lodger. Mr Prokharchin, inspired by a true story, is a sly comedy centring on an eccentric miser, and Polzunkov is a powerful character sketch which, in common with the other tales in this volume, questions the very nature of existence.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128395346078,"sku":"UBD-9780140445053","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140445053.jpg?v=1786540241","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140445053","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
