Summary
Fyodor Mihajlovič Dostoevsky: Humiliated and Insulted
Translated by Iso Velikanović
The first great novel in which Dostoevsky began to explore some themes or characters that he would develop in his later works. A story that talks about love, family and forgiveness in a realistic way. Nataša leaves her home and runs away with Alyosha, the son of Duke Valkovski. Everyone condemns her, her father scolds her, and her only comfort is provided by her childhood friend Ivan, who is sincerely in love with her. Aljoša is a young man who is easily manipulated, he is especially lenient when it comes to his father. Valkovski persuades him to leave Nataša, because he does not like his background. Alyosha is unable to resist his father and marries Katarina, a rich princess.
