Netochka Nezvanova is Dostoevsky's first - although unfinished - attempt at writing a novel. The first completed section of the book was published in the end of 1849. According to translator Jane Kentish, this first publication was intended as "no more than a prologue to the novel". [1] Further work on the novel was prevented by Dostoevsky's arrest and exile to Siberia for alleged revolutionary activities. After his return in 1859, Dostoevsky never resumed work on Netochka Nezvanova, leaving this fragment forever uncomplete.
The name Netochka Nezvanova can be translated roughly as "nameless nobody"[1].
