Description
The Idiot is a powerful portrayal of 19th-century Russian society, where a man's moral idealism clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his values. Written under difficult personal circumstances, this novel showcases Dostoevsky's acute artistic sense and penetrating psychological insight. A meticulously faithful translation, this edition includes explanatory notes and a critical introduction, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of this complex work.
