内容简介

《少年》是陀思妥耶夫斯基晚年一部颇为重要的长篇小说。小说以一个涉世未深、深受罗特希尔德思想影响的少年阿尔卡其·多尔戈鲁基的成长经历为主线，描绘了资本主义迅速发展的19世纪70年代俄国的拜金主义对当时青年一代的腐蚀。

该书是陀思妥耶夫斯基的将社会小说、悬疑小说、心理小说等多种类型的小说与教育小说融为一体的集大成者。本书主人公在这个众声喧哗的浮躁世界中，面对变化不定，缺乏信念和理想的社会，由于缺乏经验，万分迷惘，彷徨不定，历经曲折和磨难，多次遭遇到的考验和心灵的创痛。好在他一直有一种积极向上的执着追求，并且后来受到了多方面良好的影响，经历探索“善”与“恶”的挣扎之后，终于醒悟过来，完成自己精神上的成长。

The illegitimate son of a landowner, Arkady Dolgoruky was raised by foster parents and tutors, and has scarcely ever seen his father, Versilov, and his mother, Versilov's peasant common-law wife. Arkady goes to Petersburg to meet this "accidental family" and to confront the father who dominates his imagination and whom he both disdains and longs to impress. Having sewn into his coat a document that he believes gives him power over others, Arkady proceeds with an irrepressible youthful volatility that withstands blunders and humiliations at every turn.

Dostoevsky masterfully depicts adolescence as a state of uncertainty, ignorance, and incompleteness, but also of richness and exuberance, in which everything is still possible. His tale of a youth finding his way in the disorder of Russian society in the 1870s is a high and serious comedy that borders on both farce and tragedy.

The Adolescent (originally published in English as A Raw Youth) is markedly different in tone from Dostoevsky's other masterpieces. It is told from the point of view of the nineteen-year-old narrator, whose immaturity, freshness, and naïveté are unforgettably reflected in his narrative voice.

作者简介

陀思妥耶夫斯基（1821-1881），与大文豪列夫·托尔斯泰、屠格涅夫等人齐名，是俄国文学的卓越代表，他走的是一条极为艰辛、复杂的生活与创作道路，是俄国文学史上极复杂、极矛盾的作家之一。他的创作独具特色，在群星灿烂的19世纪俄国文坛上独树一帜，占有着十分特殊的地位。主要作品有《穷人》、《被侮辱与被损害的》、《死屋手记》、《罪与罚》、《白痴》、《群魔》、《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》等。

Fyodor Mikailovich Dostoevsky's life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote. He was born in Moscow in 1821. A short first novel, Poor Folk (1846) brought him instant success, but his writing career was cut short by his arrest for alleged subversion against Tsar Nicholas I in 1849. In prison he was given the "silent treatment" for eight months (guards even wore velvet soled boots) before he was led in front a firing squad. Dressed in a death shroud, he faced an open grave and awaited execution, when suddenly, an order arrived commuting his sentence. He then spent four years at hard labor in a Siberian prison, where he began to suffer from epilepsy, and he returned to St. Petersburg only a full ten years after he had left in chains.
