Oscar Wilde claimed that Humiliated and Insulted is not "at all
inferior to the other great masterpieces" and Friedrich Nietzsche
is said to have wept over it. Its construction is that of an
intricate detective novel, and the reader is plunged into a world
of moral degradation, childhood trauma and, above all, 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 literary 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.
