Through the prism of close reading this book analyzes Dostoevsky's literary debut in the context of his future mature aesthetic style and poetics. Comparing the original and the translation side by side, this study focuses on the omissions, additions, and substitutions that Dostoevsky brought into the text. It demonstrates how young Dostoevsky's free translation of "Eugénie Grandet" predicts the creation of his own literary characters, themes, and other aspects of his literary output that are now recognized as Dostoevsky's signature style. It investigates the changes that Dostoevsky made while working on Balzac's text and analyzes the complex transplantation of Balzac's imagery, motifs, and character portraiture from "Eugénie Grandet" into Dostoevsky's own writing later on"-- Provided by publisher Analysis Balzac Dostoevsky Eugénie Grandet, nineteenth-century novel French literature Russian literature comparative literature cultural studies literary translation translation studies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 10, 2022) Subject Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, 1821-1881 -- Literary style Balzac, Honoré de, 1799-1850.
