Dostoevsky is a writer who transcends time and space and is also a writer full of contradictions. Just as the world is complex and people are complex, Dostoevsky himself is also complex. Now, a new knowledge has quietly emerged in Russia and the world - Dostoevskyology. Dostoevsky himself is an enigma, and so are his works. Deciphering this mystery is a basic topic studied by Dostoevskyists all over the world. Experts generally divide Dostoevsky's life and creation into two periods: before Siberia and after Siberia. The book "The Insulted and Injured" (1861) is between these two periods and has an obvious transitional nature: it not only retains the ideas, content and style of the works of the 1940s, but also connects the past and the past, creating a precedent for the writer's later socio-psychological-philosophical novels that mainly explore social secrets and the secrets of the human heart.
