"Whoever wants to be useful can do a great deal of good even with literally tied hands." These words of F.M. Dostoevsky serve as an epigraph to the story. The main character of the work, without realizing it, will be involved in a vile business. But will he be able to remain true to his convictions and, having virtually no powers, change the situation around him? You will learn about this in the story “The Goods”. A dynamic plot and an abundance of historical facts will not let you get bored. The story is interesting for readers of all ages. It raises social problems of selfishness, pride and other vices of the human soul. I hope you enjoy reading.
