Description
Many lovers of Dostoevsky consider The Adolescent to be his best work. The author's genius speaks with incredible conviction and openness through the voice of the narrator - the main character, the outcast illegitimate son of Arkady Dolgoruky, who disarmingly honestly refers to himself as a 'youth' and can critically observe his surroundings as well. He is a young man full of contradictions - sensitive yet confused in his feelings, naive yet distrustful, on one hand sincere, a romantic dreamer longing for truth and goodness even at the cost of self-sacrifice, and on the other hand a 'subterranean' person, humiliated and ridiculed, self-destructive and self-loathing, yearning for revenge. His heavy and prolonged struggle for self resembles a game of merciless roulette. Will he manage to prevail after all the tumultuous and extraordinary twists?
