{"product_id":"the-adolescent","title":"Fyodor Dostoevsky: The Adolescent [2016] paperback","description":"Among Dostoevsky's later novels, The Adolescent occupies a very special place: published three years after The Devils and five years before his final masterpiece, The Karamazov Brothers, the novel charts the story of nineteen-year-old Arkady - the illegitimate son of the landowner Versilov and the maid Sofia Andreyevna - as he struggles to find his place in society and \"become a Rothschild\" against the background of 1870s Russia, a nation still tethered to its old systems and values but shaken up by the new ideological currents of socialism and nihilism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth a Bildungsroman and a novel of ideas, dealing with themes such as the relationship between fathers and sons and the role of money in modern society, The Adolescent - here presented in a brand-new translation by Dora O'Brien - shows Dostoevsky at his finest as a social commentator and observer of the workings of a young man's mind.","brand":"Dostoevsky, Fyodor \u0026 O'brien, Dora","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46626837234003,"sku":"9781847494993","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/dostoevsky-fyodor-the-adolescent-9781847494993-50770517426515.jpg?v=1684431880","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/the-adolescent","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
