Poor people. White Nights. The boy has Christ on the Christmas tree. Dostoevsky F.M.

The book includes the famous works of Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881): the novel “Poor People”, the story “White Nights” and the Christmas story “The boy at Christ on the Christmas tree”. The novel in the letters “Poor People” (1845) brought Dostoevsky a great glory. It was reflected in the social problems of the St. Petersburg society of the mid -19th century. After his reading, Belinsky wrote that Dostoevsky is “the name is completely unknown and new, but to which it seems to be destined to play a significant role in our literature.” Dostoevsky’s story “White Nights” (1848) is also called “sentimental novel”. Her hero is a poor dreamer who suffers from loneliness. Farming for several days illuminates his life, but his feelings are destined to remain unanswered. In the Christmas story “A boy at Christ on the Christmas tree” (1876), Dostoevsky raises the theme of an abandoned and hungry child characteristic of his work. In the dying dreams of a freezing boy a dream comes true: he is at the New Year's holiday - “Christ's Christmas tree”.
