Book name: The Poor Author: Dostoevsky Publisher: Tanweer Book classification: Novels Number of pages: 214 About the book: The faces we see in this work, which is Dostoevsky's first work, we will encounter in his other works. They are the faces of "the poor" and their ways of life. So we share their suffering as much as we realize the capacity for love and sacrifice hidden within those souls. In this novel, we will sense the deep abysses Dostoevsky will penetrate, and the metaphysical depths his novels will explore as they delve deeply into the dimensions of the human character, especially in depicting the lives of the poor and marginalized and entering their psychological worlds around which most of his novels revolve. The two protagonists in this novel are oppressed, tortured, humiliated, and disgraced, subjected to all kinds of injustice by villains, and they endure poverty that is unbearable. Makhar bears humiliation and hunger and sacrifices everything he can get, which is very little, for the poor girl he barely sees and dares not visit for fear of gossip. He accepts deprivation for her happiness and sends her small gifts.
