This classic novel follows a young man in Saint Petersburg as he struggles with poverty and his own dark thoughts. The language is from the nineteenth century, which means you will encounter older grammatical structures and a formal, descriptive style. The sentences are often long and complex, reflecting the protagonist's internal psychological state. This book is a demanding read for Finnish learners because of its dense vocabulary and philosophical themes, but it offers a profound look at human nature and morality.

Questions about this book
What level of Finnish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 12 h 1 min at a native pace, spread over 40 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
