This new English translation of Nétochka Nezvánova is the first based on the original 1849 publication (from three issues of the literary journal The Fatherland Notes) and the first translation by a native Russian speaker. It retains the original journal format and includes the passages omitted in previous English translations (all of which are based on the later, revised text published as a separate book in 1861). The translation is published in parallel with the original Russian, newly typeset to match the original 19th century journal issues. This is ideal for students of Russian literature or for readers familiar with the Russian language to further experience and enjoy Dostoyevsky's work in its original form.
Nétochka Nezvánova is Fyodor Dostoyevsky's first attempt at a full-scale novel. The work was left unfinished due to a series of tragic events: Arrested for his involvement in a utopian socialist circle and accused of subversive activities, the 27-year-old author was sentenced to hard labor and subsequent compulsory military service in Siberia. This consumed a decade of his life, but ultimately catalyzed a profound spiritual transformation that influenced the great novels to come.
The unfinished novel contains three poignant and gripping stories about the growth and transfiguration of the human soul from its first moments of self-awareness. Each tale is a special love story, imbued with profound insights into the psychology of childhood. The first story portrays the fervent, at times almost motherly, affection of the eight-year-old Nétochka for her stepfather, a tormented musical genius, while also dealing with the theme of an artist's path and destiny. The second story explores the awakening of tender feelings toward a peer - a girl of the same age - portraying the overwhelming and powerful energy that characterizes first relational experiences. The third, unfinished story follows the heroine's entrance into the complicated world of grown-ups, as she witnesses the tragic consequences of illicit and socially transgressive love that befall her ill-fated guardian, a young married woman. Dostoyevsky's intense and dramatic storytelling genius is on full display, along with touches of his delightful sense of humor.
