The humiliated and insulted

The Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881) is no longer a stranger to the Arab reader. Perhaps he has become one of the top priorities in the list of his favorite writers, and this is not strange for Dostoevsky, who is considered a truly human writer, aiming in all his books to explore the depths of the human soul and its many contradictions. I wrote the novel "The Humiliated and Offended" after Dostoevsky's return from prison in exile, and it was first published in 1861. This novel is considered a transitional chapter between his teenage and youth writings and the stage of mature books that established Dostoevsky's name as a great writer. This novel revolves around love and poverty, showing us how love blinds the eyes and heart, and how poverty controls the human being. Humiliation and disgrace are terrible human feelings; only those who have lived through them and felt them know them. This novel will make you entangle in these two feelings and will accompany you throughout your life until the end. It is truly an unforgettable novel.
