Abridged by Pietro Caracciolo
An intense story, a timeless classic in a more accessible and streamlined version.
Discover Netochka Nezvanova, the powerful unfinished novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, now available in an epitome edition. Perfect for those who want to delve into the emotional and psychological depth of the work without getting lost in the more extensive details of the original.
Netochka is a young woman marked by life's hardships, growing up in a dysfunctional family ruled by a tormented stepfather—a musical genius consumed by his own ambition. Through suffering, the search for love, and the longing for belonging, the novel explores the fragility of the human soul with extraordinary intensity.
This condensed version preserves Dostoevsky's narrative power while making the novel more fluid and immediate, without sacrificing the depth of its themes. A unique opportunity to discover or rediscover a great classic of Russian literature in a more accessible form.
