Hard to find, but worth the trouble.,

This review is from: Selected Works: The Insulted and Humiliated (Paperback)
Fans of Fyodor Mikailovich, don't miss this one! A jewel of a story which gripped me from the first
page, with the death of the old man's dog, to the last, with (read it and see).Little Nellie, a relatively minor character, could fill a whole book by herself. Other characters are familiar, but even better (if possible) versions of those from his more widely-read works. The Aloysha/Myshkin character, vivid and true-to-life, shows the destructive side of innocence in a way that his dopplegangers have not. Every person in this story is so real I felt I already knew them all. The story involves irresistable passion, unbearable sorrow, gentle love unswayed by ruinous insult, and the impossibility and inevitability of forgiveness. Multiple conflicting emotions battle it out in every breast. I have read this book at least five times. I can't recommend it enough. |
