Netochka Nezvanova
Netochka Nezvanova | Fyodor Dostoyevsky
2 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Netochka Nezvanova - a 'Nameless Nobody' - tells the story of a childhood dominated by her stepfather, Efimov, a failed musician who believes he is a neglected genius. The young girl is strangely drawn to this drunken ruin of a man, who exploits her and drives the family to poverty. But when she is rescued by an aristocratic family, the abuse against Netochka's delicate psyche continues in a more subtle way, condemning her to remain an outsider - a solitary spectator of a glittering society. Conceived as part of a novel on a grand scale, Netochka Nezvanova remained incomplete after Dostoyevsky was exiled to Siberia for 'revolutionary activities' in 1849. With its depiction of the suffering, loneliness, madness and sin that affect both rich and poor in St Petersburg, it contains the great themes that were to dominate his later novels.

the first time i had contact with Dostoyevsky such envolving and emotional story brings so much sorrow and sadness at the same time, while i was reading it i couldnt help but hope for Netochka to find piece in his heart and mind,. im still new to this style of literature while i understand the heavy narrative on his books are not for everyone´s taste i find myself now wanting to read all of his work. definitely a masterpiece. 😊

"Throughout his life the ax had been hanging over his head, and he had waited for the shot between unspeakable torture. The ax breaks down: the blow was deadly!
