"Humiliated and Insulted" is a novel by Russian author Fyodor
Dostoevsky, first published in 1861 in the magazine "Vremya". It is
narrated by Vanya, a young author who has just released his first
novel--a novel which has a clear resemblance to Dostoevsky's "Poor
Folk". His newly-finished work comprises two entwined subplots: one,
concerning Vanya's friend and former lover Natasha; the other, a
13-year-old orphan called Nellie whom Vanya saves from an abusive
household by taking her into his home. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
(1821 - 1881) was a Russian novelist, essayist, short story writer,
journalist, and philosopher. His literature examines human psychology
during the turbulent social, spiritual and political atmosphere of
19th-century Russia, and he is considered one of the greatest
psychologists in world literature. A prolific writer, Dostoevsky
produced 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short stories and numerous other
works. This volume is not to be missed by fans of Russian literature and
collectors of Dostoevsky's seminal work.
