Escrita poco después de la decisiva etapa vital que representaron su reclusión en el penal siberiano de Omsk durante cuatro años y su posterior servicio como soldado durante cinco, HUMILLADOS Y OFENDIDOS es una novela clave en la trayectoria de Fiódor Dostoyevski (1821-1881), pues supuso la afirmación del rumbo que habría de tomar en adelante su extraordinaria carrera literaria. Influida aún por el carácter folletinesco de su publicación original en 1861, es a la vez crónica de amores imposibles y drama social, gran novela de entretenimiento y notable galería de personajes que mereció el elogio del gran Tolstói.

First published in Germany in 1894, after being banned in Russia, The Kingdom of God Is within You reveals Tolstoy’s world outlook after his conversion to Christianity. He argues that the kingdom of God is within reach of all. The core of the book deals with his nonresistance to evil, a principle Tolstoy passionately advocated. Gandhi was won over by the book. Tolstoy clearly describes the hazards that bullying governments and false beliefs produced. “The situation of the Christian part of humanity—with its prisons, forced labor, gallows, saloons, brothels, constantly increasing armaments, and millions of confused people ready like trained hounds to attack anyone against whom their masters set them—this situation would be terrible if it were the product of coercion, but it is above all the product of public opinion.” Abhorring the violence of revolution, Tolstoy calls on Christians to remember that the only guide for their actions is to be found in the divine principle dwelling within them, which in no sense can be checked or governed by anyone or anything else.
