Publisher Description

A classic by a Russian master

Prince Myshkin, the idiot, is an almost comically innocent Christ figure in a land of sinners, one whose faith in beauty contrasts sharply with that of his society's.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s classic follows a man of saintly simplicity who’s plunged into the wickedness of earthly life. Prince Myshkin—the idiot in question—is a Christlike figure living in an un-Christian time. A holy fool at odds with the cruel and surly people around him, Myshkin is thrust into a story involving love, scandal, and murder. Along the way, Dostoevsky meditates on big themes like death and hope in ways that linger in your brain like the finest scripture. Nearly 150 years after its publication, The Idiot remains a masterpiece of spiritual yearning.
