Produktbeschreibung
A Raw Youth (Russian: Podrostok), also published as The Adolescent or An Accidental Family, is a novel by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky (Dostoyevsky), first published in monthly installments in 1875 in The Fatherland Notes.

The novel chronicles the life of 19-year-old intellectual, Arkady Dolgoruky, illegitimate child of the controversial and womanizing landowner Versilov. A focus of the novel is the recurring conflict between father and son, particularly in ideology, which represents the battles between the conventional "old" way of thinking in the 1840s and the new nihilistic point of view of the youth of 1860s Russia. Whereas the young of Arkady's time embraced a very negative opinion of Russian culture in contrast to Western or European culture.

Another main theme is Arkady's development and utilization of his "idea" in his life, mainly a form of rebellion against society (and his father) through the rejection of attending a university, and the making of money and living independently, onto the eventual aim of becoming excessively wealthy and powerful.
Autorenporträt
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821–1881) stands among the most profound and influential novelists in Russian literature. His literary works explore human psychology within the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia. Dostoevsky's oeuvre consists of 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short stories, and numerous other works. 'A Raw Youth' (also known as 'The Adolescent' or 'An Accidental Family'), written in 1875, continues his deep exploration of the human psyche, focusing on the turbulent life and development of its adolescent protagonist, Arkady Dolgoruky. Like many of Dostoevsky's novels, 'A Raw Youth' examines themes of existentialism, the nihilistic age, and the clash between generations. Dostoevsky's literary style is characterized by its idiosyncratic use of dialogue, an engagement with philosophical and ethical dilemmas, and profound psychological insight into his characters. Fyodor's most eminent works, such as 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot', 'Demons', and 'The Brothers Karamazov', not only reflect his encyclopedic understanding of human nature but also underscore his contributions to existentialism and psychoanalysis. His novels are often cited for their preternatural ability to encapsulate the human experience, with a narrative appeal that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries.
