Abstract: The article analyses the Italian reception of Dostoevsky’s novel The Adolescent. The small number of translations of the novel in Italian, as well as the lack of critical works specifically devoted to it, indicate little interest in the book on the part of both the average Italian reader and the academic community, especially when compared to other works by Dostoevsky. The second part of the article offers an overview of the prefaces to the various editions, which are, in fact, the only works in Italian exclusively devoted to the novel.
