{"product_id":"the-adolescent-fyodor-dostoevsky-9781847494993","title":"The Adolescent","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.\nBoth 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":"Alma Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52012278677792,"sku":"9781847494993","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781847494993.jpg?v=1785339138","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-adolescent-fyodor-dostoevsky-9781847494993","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
