Humiliated and Insulted: From the Notes of an Unsuccessful Author | Fyodor Dostoevsky

2 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

First published in 1861, Humiliated and Insulted plunges the reader into a world of moral degradation, childhood trauma, unrequited love and irreconcilable relationships. At the centre of the story are a young struggling author, an orphaned teenager and a depraved aristocrat, who not only foreshadows the great figures of evil in Dostoevsky’s later fiction, but is a powerful and original presence in his own right. This new translation catches the verve and tumult of the original, which – in concept and execution – affords a refreshingly unfamiliar glimpse of the author.

Humiliated and Insulted: From the Notes of an Unsuccessful Author | Fyodor Dostoevsky

pick

āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸This is the second Dostoevsky book after ā€Crime and Punishmentā€¯ that I‘ve read. I was deeply affected and emotionally invested in the characters Natasha, Nikolai and Ivan because they mirrored various aspects of the people in my life during the lowest period of my life. Dostoevsky is truly a perceptive and insightful writer who has an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the human mind and heart. Disclaimer: not for everyone.

If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
