Poor Folk: A Heartfelt Story of Love, Poverty, and Human Struggle - A Modern Translation - Adapted for the Contemporary Reader

How much suffering can a kind heart endure?

In Poor Folk, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers a deeply moving epistolary novel that reveals the struggles of the impoverished through an intimate exchange of letters. Makar Devushkin, a poor government clerk, finds solace in his correspondence with Varvara Dobroselova, a young woman also trapped in a life of hardship. Their letters—filled with love, despair, and longing—reveal the pain of social isolation and the quiet endurance of those who live in poverty.

As Makar sacrifices his own well-being to support Varvara, his dignity is tested against the harsh realities of an uncaring society. Through his words, Dostoevsky masterfully explores themes of human compassion, self-sacrifice, and the invisible suffering of the lower class.
