Description

The illegitimate son of a dissipated landowner, he is torn between his desire to expose his father’s wrongdoing and the desire to win his love.

He travels to St. Petersburg to confront the father he barely knows, inspired by an inchoate dream of communion and armed with a mysterious document that he believes gives him power over others.

This new English version by the most acclaimed of Dostoevsky’s translators is a masterpiece of pathos and high comedy.
