Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on Dostoevsky's first literary publication--his 1844 translation of the first edition of Balzac's Eugе́nie Grandet (1834). Through the prism of close reading, the author analyzes Dostoevsky's literary debut and the stylistic choices he made while working on Balzac's novel in the context of his future mature aesthetic style and poetics.
