Book Overview

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Author)

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.

About Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-81) was educated in Moscow and at the School of Military Engineers in St. Petersburg, where he spent four years. In 1846, he wrote his first novel, Poor Folk; it was an immediate critical and popular success. This was followed by short stories and the novel The Double. While at work on Netochka Nezvanova, the twenty-seven-year-old author was arrested for belonging to a young socialist group. He was tried and condemned to death, but at the last moment his sentence was commuted to prison in Siberia. He spent four years in the penal settlement as Omsk. In 1859, he was granted full amnesty and allowed to return to St. Petersburg. In the fourteen years before his death, Dostoyevsky produced his greatest works, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov. The last was published a year before his death.
