"The Fourth Meshchanskaya" is a novel by the famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This book tells about the complex relationships in the Luzhinin family, which became symbols of various social strata and ideologies in the 19th century. The main character, Kateryna Luzhyna, is a widow who is forced to fight for her place in society and, for the sake of her children, makes a decision that surpasses anything she has ever done. Working on questions of class passions and moral choices, Dostoevsky created a striking and tangible image of a country searching for its way to a bright future during foggy days.
