The Idiot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789373495637)

Can purity survive in a corrupt world? In Dostoevsky's The Idiot, Prince Myshkin-a man of absolute innocence and compassion-returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium. But in St. Petersburg's society, his honesty is mistaken for idiocy. Caught between two women-gentle Aglaya and tormented Nastasya-Myshkin becomes a tragic figure, too good for a cynical world. With psychological depth and philosophical brilliance, Dostoevsky explores madness, morality, love, and redemption in a tale that's equal parts heartbreaking and profound. The Idiot is not just a novel-it's a human experience laid bare.
