The novel "The Village of Stepanchikovo and Its Inhabitants" marked Dostoevsky's return to Russian literary life after spending ten years in a hard labor prison and exile. Peppered with psychological drama, sordid intrigue and fraud, this work describes the lives of these rural aristocrats who inherit an entire village and thus own the 'souls' that make it up. There we find the passing people, the parasites, the domestic servants, the family, the tyrannical mother, the pretentious culture and the pseudo-religious enthusiasm, which gradually dominates these people and reveals to us the selfishness, injustice, and careerism of the inequality society and the false manifestations of Russian society during the nineteenth century. It is an intelligent, well-crafted, anecdotal text with an amazing plot, characterized by an accurate and subtle description of human nature; This is the description that distinguished and immortalized the works of this great writer that are still being read and read to this day.
