Humillados y ofendidos

To love, to suffer, to forgive: Dostoevsky’s universe began here. Ivan Petrovich, a young writer, watches as the world of the family that took him in as a child collapses. Natasha—with whom he grew up and whom he loves—decides to leave her parents to live with Alyosha, the son of Prince Valkovsky—the very man locked in a painful conflict with her family. From that moment on, Ivan becomes a witness, confidant, and mediator in a web of relationships defined by love, jealousy, pride, guilt, and sacrifice. As Natasha struggles to sustain a passion that threatens to destroy her, the arrival of Nelly—a destitute girl linked to a separate history of abandonment and suffering—opens a new emotional front in the novel.
