Publisher Description
The 26-year-old Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by the society of Saint Petersburg for his trusting nature and naiveté, he finds himself at the center of a struggle between a beautiful kept woman and a virtuous and pretty young girl, both of whom win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin's very goodness precipitates disaster, leaving the impression that, in a world obsessed with money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium may be the only place for a saint.

Parts 1&2 sublime, pt 3 new narrator terrible
Parts one and two were read beautifully and I was so absorbed in the characters, thee we story and the voice. Suddenly part three begins with an irritating American/Russian woman who mispronounced miss/ read, it became unbearable & I couldn’t continue the book
