Book Overview

The Idiot

Dostoevskys Idiot, is one of the most famous novels by Fyodor Dostoevsky. After a five-year stay in a Swiss sanatorium, 26-year-old Prince Lev Myshkin returns to Russia one November morning to settle an inheritance matter in St. Petersburg following the death of a relative. Although his epilepsy has been successfully treated, his isolation has caused him to develop childishly naive behaviors and he is ridiculed by society as an "Idiot." The Idiot is rightly considered one of the greatest works of world literature. In his naive, unconventional way, the protagonist sees people in their personal and social tensions and contradictions and their resulting suffering. He fails in his efforts to help them and sinks back into his disease state of mental isolation.

Dostoevksi the Idiot is a must for everyone's bookcase.
