La història té un interès gairebé nul, és exasperantment repetitiva, i la traducció de Francesc Pagès és mediocre. Una decepció. Un text que no és digne de Dostoievski. ( ) This was a straightforward, yet highly revealing short novella by Dostoevsky. I was impressed with the way he developed the characters as well as his use of language and plot cohesion. There were a number of passages that were impressive as well and the story flowed and was palatable and believable. Overall, quite a good little story. 3.5 stars. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Generally considered something of a departure for Dostoyevsky, The Landlady was first published in 1847, when most of the author's classic novels were still in his future. Set in Saint Petersburg, the novella tells of a brooding, reclusive scholar, Vasily Mikhailovich Ordynov, who develops an obsession with a young woman, Katerina. After encountering Katerina and her much-older husband at a church service, Ordynov contrives to become a lodger at their home. Complications arise as Ordynov detects the strange power that Katerina's husband holds over her as he delves into the couple's mysterious past. Written as an experiment with the Gothic literary form, this novella echoes elements of Russian folklore and features themes and devices that reappear in Dostoyevsky's more mature works. The story, overlooked for many years by literary scholars, has recently emerged as a thought-provoking exploration of Russian faith and historical consciousness.
