Mr. Prohartchin lives a miserable life. To his neighbors he is a man to be pitied, living in a bare apartment with little more than a mattress on the floor. His meals are sparse and frugal, and he is isolated from society. However, when his landlady investigates his apartment upon his death, she finds that there was more to Mr. Prohartchin than she and her other tenants ever could have guessed.

"Mr. Prohartchin" was first published in Annals of the Fatherland in 1846 and was inspired by a true story.

Works, such as the novels Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), of Russian writer Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky or Dostoevski combine religious mysticism with profound psychological insight.

Very influential writings of Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin included Problems of Dostoyevsky's Works (1929),

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky composed short stories, essays, and journals. His literature explores humans in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century and engages with a variety of philosophies and themes. People most acclaimed his Demons(1872) .

Many literary critics rate him of the greatest of world literature and consider multiple highly influential masterpieces. They consider his Notes from Underground of the first existentialist literature. He also well acts as a philosopher and theologian.

28th book of 2022

Mr. Prokharchin is a miserly man, a misanthrope if you will. Ostracized from society by his own miserable attitude, he is not someone to envy. When he dies, those living in his board house discover that he was actually very wealthy, and that his own selfishness for keeping his fortune to himself and safe, drove him to live the life of a beggar. A similar character to that of Dickens鈥檚 Ebenezer Scrooge, but without any form of positive redemption at the end.

This is a short piece, but one worthy of being read. Four stars.

脠 inutile, tra me e Dostoevskij non c'猫 empatia.
Ogni tanto ci riprovo, ma con risultati fallimentari: sembriamo quasi due amanti che non vogliano rassegnarsi al fatto che tra loro non funzioni.
Questo per dire che naturalmente ci riprover貌.

The narrator of this story tells us that this is a "biography" of Mr. Prohartchin....it felt more like a backstory of a short time in his life leading up to his death (we know from the beginning few pages that he dies). He was an elderly man who lived in a flat owned by a lady who tended to favor him and didn't charge him as much for his meals. He was of a very humble grade in the service and was paid as little as his grade was. Mr. Prohartchin owned a box with a German lock on it and he always kept the key on his person. He seemed very poor. He goes missing for a few days and the other tenants of the flat go looking for him and we hear a tale of what happened...or was it Mr. Proharchin's demented memory.

This story was fine, but what kept me reading was wanting to know what was in the box just like the others in the house.

The moral of the story: "The broken screen seemed like an emblem of the fact that death tears away the veil from all our secrets, our shifty dodges and intrigues."

Puntuaci贸: 3'5/5 猸愶笍

Opini贸: Fa un parell d'anys vaig llegir 'Les nits blanques' i no em va fer massa el pes, aix铆 que vaig decidir deixar de banda aquest autor. Anys m茅s tard he descobert que aquesta obra no s'assembla gens a la resta de la seva literatura, aix铆 que li he volgut donar una altra oportunitat i ho he fet llegint aquest menut que aplega dos relats breus.

El primer que trobam 茅s el que dona nom al llibre, 茅s a dir, 'El senyor Prokhartxin'. Aquest relat el protagonitza un humil funcionari que viu llogant un pis en l'establiment de la Sra. Ust铆nia Fi贸dorovna. All脿 s'hi allotgen una dotzena de llogaters que viuen en plena harmonia, per貌 per algun motiu no consideren el Sr. Prokhartxin un m茅s d'ells. Un dia, per貌, decideixen fer-li la guitza, b脿sicament li explicaran coses falses i del tot inversemblants i una d'aquestes coses acaba trasbalsant profundament al protagonista.

L'altre relat 茅s 'La centen脿ria' i 茅s protagonitzat per una velleta de 104 anys que va a morir entre l'escalf de la seva gent. Aquest, a difer猫ncia de l'altre, t茅 un to m茅s tendre.

Ambdues hist貌ries tenen com a eix central la mort, per貌 en elles tamb茅 hi trobareu un toc ir貌nic i de cr铆tica social.

I CAN鈥橳 BELIEVE I鈥橫 GONNA SAY THIS!
I always enjoy Dostoyevsky. But, this time, I DIDN鈥橳 enjoy reading this story! It seems really obvious that he wrote it when he was very young. It lacks the DOSTOYEVSKY TASTE.
I wouldn鈥檛 recommend it to any of my friends.

Sorry Fyodor!

This grotesque little story owes much to E. T. A. Hoffman and Gogol and does not even begin to suggest the mature . Yet it is fun to read about this wizened little old man who rents a corner of a room in a Petersburg boardinghouse and is ignored for years until ... until the establishment begins to fill up with younger bachelors who work in the chancelleries and who begin to taunt Semyon Ivanovich Prokharchin beyond his ability to respond.

He runs off for a few days, is seen with low company, returns in the middle of the night -- and the "persecution" begins to ramp up even more. Finally, a drunk slashes his mattress, which scares Mr. P. out of his life. He dies, and the mattress is found stuffed with 2,500 rubles -- not a fortune, but a tidy some nonetheless.

I enjoyed reading this little sketch, but have no doubt that it confused Dostoyevsky's contemporaries. Still, if you idolize him as much as I do, I suggest you give a try.

Pues si, en esta historia veo el despliegue del trabajo de un personaje que hace Dostoyevski. Un personaje silencioso, que no pareciese dar mucha informaci贸n de s铆 mismo. Y que si embargo, Dostoyevski lo describe, reflexiona casi con cari帽o sobre 茅l. Lo talla y pule minuciosamente, hasta hacerlo imborrable de mi menoria.

An impoverished and combatant old man who hides a secret, lives in a shared accommodation with other tenants that he constantly quarrels with.

Not the most riveting story but the plot is elevated by an interesting and unusual protagonist. This was Dostoyevsky鈥檚 first published short story.

I don't think this needed to take the turn that it did. So many of the interactions between the other tenants and Mr Prokharchin served to demonstrate that despite his state and position in the world, Mr Prokharchin was "surprisingly" proud. I don't think this is surprising at all. The revelation that he actually had a lot of money was supposed to give clarity to this confusion about his character. Again, I didn't think there was any confusion. It actually makes perfect sense that someone so poor could also be proud. It was interesting to see (in the very last page) how people's perceptions of him changed, given the revelations. Calling him "the unconventional capitalist" was striking.

The previous short story that I read (White Nights) I didn鈥檛 love very much, but it kind of stayed with me, so I really wanted to give Dostoyevsky another chance - and he鈥檚 starting to grow on me. I liked this one a lot better.

The motif of the miser is not something that I find very relatable or interesting, and I had already encountered it in the works of Moli猫re and Jovan Sterija Popovi膰 (was Dostoyevsky drawing inspiration from these? I鈥檓 not sure), hence 4 stars. However, I find his description of insanity and frenzy extremely exciting. I felt a strong sense of empathy for his unfortunate protagonist and was very much invested in the story. I am always amused by good depictions of mental illness in literature, and this one was top-tier. I especially enjoyed the symbolism of the burning fire and the part where the fever spread to Mr. Prokharchin鈥檚 neighbors as they became greedy for his secret fortune.

The obvious moral of the story is that death reveals all secrets, but I would argue that there is a lot more to it - he鈥檚 covering universal human experiences, psychological trauma, a sense of fear and guilt, and even a critique of the society that births this type of individual. It was my first read of 2025, and it was great. I plan to read more of Dostoyevsky鈥檚 work very soon.

Much of what I wrote about "The Double" could be applied to "Mr. Prohartchin." There is an obvious homage/debt to Gogol in this short story. The plot is very hard to follow, which may be the result of tsarist censors.
