Dostoyevsky's The Used and Abused (Part One)

DOSTOYEVSKY'S THE USED AND ABUSED is a fresh retelling of an early Fyodor Dostoyevsky novel previously translated and published under such titles as "Injury and Insult," "The Insulted and Injured, "The Insulted and Humiliated," and "Humiliated and Insulted. Written while serving a term in prison, Dostoyevsky was heavily influenced by the writings of Charles Dickens. A frustrated love affair, an orphan girl in jeopardy, a scheming aristocrat, and an angry father who casts his daughter out of his life, are just a few of the ingredients that make this little known Russian novel a delight to read. More than simply a new translation, novelist Robert Armin has expanded upon and enhanced the characters and dialogue of Dostoyevsky's original work to give modern readers a full and engaging reading experience from beginning to end. This volume contains the first half of a two-part serialization of "Dostoyevsky’s The Used and Abused." Part Two will be published in the Fall of 2016.
