Publisher Description
Experience one of the most profound explorations of innocence, morality, and human nature with Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot — a psychological masterpiece that challenges society’s definition of goodness and sanity. The novel follows Prince Lev Myshkin, a gentle and compassionate man whose Christ-like purity collides with the cynicism, greed, and emotional turbulence of 19th-century Russian aristocracy.
Torn between two women — the passionate Nastasya Filippovna and the virtuous Aglaya — Myshkin’s journey is one of emotional chaos and spiritual reflection. Through him, Dostoevsky raises timeless questions about love, faith, mental illness, and whether true goodness can survive in a corrupt world.
