Después de releer Pobres Gentes, puedo decir que hay partes de la novela que me encantan y otras que me parecen un poco más pesadas. Especialmente cuando se trata de las cartas de Makar Dévushkin.
La obra en sí me gusta, el estilo de Dostoyevski y su inclinación por el estudio de la sociedad siempre me ha fascinado, pero prefiero su obra "Noches Blancas", que es además más breve y siento que está mejor escrita (quizá sea cosa de la traducción, no lo niego).
Sigo recomendando este libro, aunque quizá la lectura de Noches Blancas sea más interesante si no se ha leído nada del autor todavía.

Brutal e muito directo. Mas ao mesmo tempo imaginativo, recomendo fortemente.

And though I suffer for you, yet it eases my heart to suffer for you.
Makar Alexievitch is a copywriter barely surviving on his meager income, while Barbara Alexievna is a seamstress, young and beautiful but prone to sickness and grief. Both live in squalid and derelict tenements across each other, poor and dejected lives that find comfort and joy in each other and their exchange of letters.
Written as an epistolary novel, Poor Folk was Dostoevsky's debut novel that catapulted him into an overnight sensation. It is truly seminal in its narration and theme as it brought about a shift away from the Russian prose that came before it which depicted the world of the nobility with their larger-than-life Gogolian characters, irony, marionettes, and masks.
This novel marked a major literary event, bringing real people into the world of Russian literature, with their faults, loves, begging bowls, and quotidian worries. Against the backdrop of grinding poverty and suffering, Dostoevsky elicits compassion for the outcasts and delivers them the proper dignity that every life deserves, no matter how poor.

I think this is one of those books that I will never stop recommending. Made me cry and weep like a little girl lost in the woods.
Fyodor Dostoevsky might be a favorite author. 🖤🌹
