Humiliated and insulted : from the notes of an unsuccessful author
Dostoyevsky, Fyodor 1821-1881
Humiliated and insulted : from the notes of an unsuccessful author / Fyodor Dostoevsky ; translated by Ignat Avsey. - New edition. - London : Alma Classics, 2018. - 384 pages, 6 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cm
Translated from the Russian.
Includes bibliographical references.
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.
