Publisher Description
Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women—the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia—both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin's honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him. In her revision of the Garnett translation, Anna Brailovsky has corrected inaccuracies wrought by Garnett's drastic anglicization of the novel, restoring as much as possible the syntactical structure of the original story.
Customer Reviews
Rating above minus one star (false advertising)
This audio book falsely suggests that the entire book is narrated by Mike Joyce. This is not the case as the reading is actually completed by persons un-named and unknown.
This indiscretion is unforgivable as it is makes the reading impossible to complete!
Only first 2 chapters can be listened
The last 2 chapters are by a different narrator and couldn’t even listen to a single word.
Definitely don’t buy based on the preview.
