Description
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky Prince Myshkin's return to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland sets him on a path of entanglement with a cast of complex characters, whose lives are marked by both desperation and passion. As the novel unfolds, Dostoyevsky presents a stark contrast between the ideal of perfection embodied by Myshkin and the worldly realities of those around him. Through Myshkin's serene selflessness, Dostoyevsky critiques the social and moral ills of his time, exposing the flaws of the Russian ruling class and the consequences of their actions. This thought-provoking novel is a powerful exploration of human nature, morality, and the search for meaning. Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, this edition of The Idiot offers a nuanced and insightful reading experience.
