The Adolescent
The Adolescent | Fyodor Dostoevsky
2 posts | 11 read | 8 to read
The narrator and protagonist of Dostoevskys novel The Adolescent (first published in English as A Raw Youth) is Arkady Dolgoruky, a nave 19-year-old boy bursting with ambition and opinions. The illegitimate son of a dissipated landowner, he is torn between his desire to expose his fathers wrongdoing and the desire to win his love. He travels to St. Petersburg to confront the father he barely knows, inspired by an inchoate dream of communion and armed with a mysterious document that he believes gives him power over others. This new English version by the most acclaimed of Dostoevskys translators is a masterpiece of pathos and high comedy.

Third Dostoïevski in a row! Quite the commitment but totally worth it!! 😍 Do the flowers make the creepy little guy on the cover less scary?

bmsddk They provide a pleasant visual distraction from the creepiness! 8y
Alma Great then! Mission accomplished! 8y
bmsddk ✔👏😄 ... Those lists of bookish things we do should include cover scare intervention (CSI)! 8y

Alma CSI hahahha you're good! We should spread the word and get more members to join the #CSI 8y
MrBook Fantastic writer! 8y
bmsddk Oh, great trend, let's do it!! There's a #coverlove trend, so this would be a fun angle to add. Any ideas how to get it off the ground? I'll use the hashtag for a September photo challenge post by @RealLifeReading 8y
Alma @MrBook Indeed, I bought all his books and wish there was more! @bmsddk All right!! :D Is it awkward that I am all excited by this? 8y
bmsddk I don't think it's awkward, but if it is, you're definitely not alone in it :) Part of the magic of the bookish Litsy community is that this is most likely normal! 8y
Alma Then I am most certainly home! 🙏 Thanks @bmsddk 8y
