It tells the story of Makar Devushkin, a clerk, and Varvara Dobroselova, a seamstress, through the letters they exchange. They are in love, but too poor to marry. Its exploration of humanitarian themes led to it being described as Russia's first 'social novel'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy contrast, Dostoevsky's second novel, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Double\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was not well received.
