Netochka Nezvanova - a 'Nameless Nobody' - tells the story of a childhood dominated by her stepfather Efimov a failed musician who believes he is a neglected genius. The young girl is strangely drawn to this drunken ruin of a man who exploits her and drives the family to poverty. But when she is rescued by an aristocratic family the abuse against Netochka's delicate psyche continues in a more subtle way condemning her to remain an outsider - a solitary spectator of a glittering society. Conceived as part of a novel on a grand scale Netochka Nezvanova remained incomplete after Dostoyevsky was exiled to Siberia for 'revolutionary activities' in 1849. With its depiction of the suffering loneliness madness and sin that affect both rich and poor in St Petersburg it contains the great themes that were to dominate his later novels.
