Notes :
Humiliated and Insulted (Russian: Unizhennye i oskorblyonnye; known in English also as The Insulted and Humiliated, The Insulted and the Injured or Injury and Insult) is a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in 1861 in the monthly magazine Vremya. Narrated by a young novelist, Vanya (Ivan Petrovich), who has just released his first novel which bears an obvious resemblance to Dostoevsky's own first novel, Poor Folk, it consists of two gradually converging plot lines. One deals with Vanya's close friend and former love object, Natasha, who has left her family to live with her new lover, Alyosha. Alyosha is the saintly but dimwitted son of Prince Valkovsky, who hopes to gain financially by marrying Alyosha off to an heiress, Katya. The other plotline focuses on a thirteen-year-old orphan, Nellie, whom Vanya saves from an abusive household by taking her into his apartment, and whose deceased mother's story in some ways parallels that of Natasha. There have been many film adaptations of the novel, both in full and partially; - In 1922 a German silent film directed by Frederic Zelnik was based on the novel. - The Hong Kong film The Insulted and the Injured, released in 1950, was based on the story, but set in post-WWII Shanghai. It was directed by Lau King, who also plays the character of the young writer Cen Mu in the film. - Japanese director Akira Kurosawa adapted Nellie's story in his 1965 film, Red Beard. - In 1991, the novel was adapted for cinema by Soviet director Andrei Andreyevich Eshpai with Nastassja Kinski as Natasha.
