Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Bold, romantic, and emotionally explosive, The Idiot follows a kindhearted prince whose sincerity is so rare, the people he encounters don’t know whether they should adore him or destroy him.
When Prince Myshkin returns to Saint Petersburg after years in a Swiss sanitarium, his openness and kindheartedness unsettle a society ruled by power and money. Drawn into the orbit of two women—brilliant, wounded Nastasya Filippovna and spirited Aglaya Epanchin—he finds himself at the heart of a perilous rivalry.
With daring psychological insight and disarming flashes of comedy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky examines what goodness looks like when it’s caught between desire and society’s pressure to conform. The Idiot reveals how easily innocence is mistaken for weakness and how steep the cost can be for those who keep believing in love.
Customer Reviews
Idiot
This is the greatest book ever! Thanks iStore for making it available for free.
I can't believe previous review - that guy Khalid! He was obviously confused with the title of this book - even though named "Idiot" - idiots were not meant to be a target audience.
If u r from UAE do not download
Hi,
The ibooks is based on countries am from UAE there is few and old books only. I like to read but there are only old books which some been written in 18 C. I hate when that happen its discriminating. Why some counties gets the best books where we don't? Am willing to pay for a books but put new and good books. I hope apple will consider that we are people who live in 2012 not 1800.
