First book of the Russian author and precursor text of the social novel, it was a great success in its time. The social problem is approached here from the lyrical point of view, without violence, basing its solution on the Gospel, solving it intuitively in the name of love. Love thus becomes a social imperative and its fruit is an evangelical literature starring (as favorite characters) the poor, the meek, sinners? Poor people, who ask themselves how is it possible that such a good person is helpless and that the fate falls on others? Poor people, aware that for them we are nothing! Peripheries, discarded people, no doubt.
