Publisher Description
Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners.

Decent translation...
I did not read the original in russian nor am I a russian speaker, but there are some "wordings" that are quite weird. This "by the by" is probably "by the way" and there are other such cases that give me the impression that the translation could easily be improved.
