Ujakov san / Poniženi i uvrijeđeni

Ujakov san / Poniženi i uvrijeđeni

Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski

Both works reflect Dostoevsky's early phase, with a focus on social criticism, psychological analysis and moral dilemmas, foreshadowing the themes of his later masterpieces.

  • Uncle's Dream (1859) is a satirical-comic novella set in the provincial town of Mordasovo. The central figure is Maria Alexandrovna, an ambitious woman who wants to secure a wealthy marriage for her daughter Zina. When the old, wealthy Prince K. comes to town, Maria devises a plan to seduce him for Zina, despite the prince's senility and ridiculous eccentricities. The plot becomes entangled through intrigue, gossip, and board games, as Dostoevsky ridicules provincial mentality, greed, and hypocrisy. Through humor and caricatures of the characters, the novella reveals the shallowness of social ambitions and moral emptiness, ending with an unexpected twist that thwarts Maria's plans.

  • Humiliated and Insulted (1861) is a melodramatic novel that follows Ivan Petrovich, a young writer and storyteller, whose love story with Natasha Ikhmenyeva is destroyed by social and family conflicts. Natasha runs away with Alyosha, the son of Prince Valkovsky, much to her father's anger. At the same time, Ivan rescues the orphan Nelly, whose tragic fate reveals the cruelty of society. The novel explores themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, and moral purity in the face of selfishness and corruption. Prince Valkovsky, the cynical antagonist, is the embodiment of immorality. Through complex relationships and emotional depth, Dostoevsky depicts the suffering of the "little man" and the power of compassion, with a tragic ending that highlights the fragility of human hope.
