This book is a novella by the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was Dostoevsky's first novel and his breakthrough work, marking his entry into the Russian literary scene. The book portrays the psychology of the poor, or rather, the unfortunate people of Russia, exploring the cowardice and helplessness within human nature. Lovers are forced apart by external pressures, plunging them into despair and hardship. The novel uses an epistolary format, allowing the lower classes to open their hearts and express their feelings directly. From then on, ordinary people in St. Petersburg had their own voice through Dostoevsky's writing. Lu Xun commented on "The Poor": "The world is so vast, yet so narrow; the poor love each other so much, yet cannot love each other."
本书是俄国作家陀思妥耶夫斯基的中篇小说。这是陀翁第一部小说, 也是他的成名之作, 由此他开始进入俄国文坛。本书展现了俄国穷人或说可怜人的心理, 发掘了人性中的怯懦与无奈。相爱的人因为外在环境的压迫而不得不分离, 深陷绝望与困顿之中。小说采用书信体的形式, 让底层小人物敞开心扉, 直抒胸臆。从此, 彼得堡普通人在陀翁这里有了自己的声音。鲁迅评《穷人》: 世界竟是这么广大, 而又这么狭窄; 穷人是这么相爱, 而又不得相爱。
