Евгения Гранде (перевод романа О. де Бальзака)

Retrato de Fiódor Dostoievski, por Vasili Perov
byFyodor Dostoevsky

A free and somewhat abridged version of Balzac's novel about the miser of Saumur and his daughter, made by a twenty-two-year-old Dostoevsky who had just left the engineering service. Balzac was then his great model, and the translation, published in a theatrical journal, was his first contact with print.
