"The Insulted and Injured" is a novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in 1861 in the magazine "Vremya". It is narrated by Vanya, a young author who has just released his first novel-a novel which has a clear resemblance to Dostoevsky's "Poor Folk". His newly-finished work comprises two entwined subplots: one, concerning Vanya's friend and former lover Natasha, while the other deals with the 13-year-old orphan Nellie whom Vanya saves from an abusive household by taking her into his home
