Humiliated and Insulted

A tragic test of love, pride, and human dignity... Humiliated and Insulted, one of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s early novels, draws the reader deep into the human soul with a powerful and moving narrative. Told through the eyes of the young writer Ivan, this story unveils the intertwined fates of innocent Natasha—who falls in love with a wealthy prince—little orphan Nellie struggling to survive on the streets, and other characters caught in their own inner turmoil. In a world where pride clashes with love, and compassion battles self-interest, can each of them preserve their humanity in the face of relentless suffering? Dostoevsky masterfully exposes not only social injustice, but also the most hidden wounds of the heart. Humiliated and Insulted is more than a novel—it is a haunting elegy rising from the depths of broken hearts and silenced cries.
