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. Both 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.
