Description: Poor People (aka Poor Folks) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Boni and Liveright/Modern Library, 1917, later printing?), brown flexible leatherette, binding rubbed along spine edges and at head of spine, corners bumped; lacks catalog of 1st 12 titles in the series that appeared before t.p.; but has a note from the published that a list of titles in the series will be supplied on request; some foxing and age toning as is to be expected from a 100+-year-old book Poor Folks was Dostoyevsky's first novel, published when he was 24. The work is told as a series of letters between poor cousins, Makar Devushkin and Varvara Dobroselova, who develop a close relationship until a wealthy widower proposes to Varvara. This is one of the first titles published by the firm of Boni and Liveright under their new Modern Library imprint. These early Modern Library titles are fairly scarce and a wonderful addition to a collection of these iconic books..
