A Raw Youth by Fyodor Dostoevsky

A Raw Youth (also known as The Adolescent) by Fyodor Dostoevsky, translated by Constance Garnett, follows the tumultuous life of Arkady Dolgoruky, a 19-year-old illegitimate son of a nobleman, as he navigates the complexities of identity, family, and morality in 19th-century Russia. Estranged from his father and driven by a desire for wealth and purpose, Arkady becomes entangled in a web of scandals, secrets, and ideological conflicts, including a mysterious "document" that could ruin lives. Through his journey, Dostoevsky explores themes of innocence, corruption, and the search for meaning in a society rife with social and spiritual disintegration.
