Beskrivelse
The Idiot follows Prince Myshkin as he returns to Russia from a Swiss asylum, only to become entangled in complex romantic and financial dramas. His pure-hearted nature stands out amid a cast of vividly drawn characters, leading to a tragic conclusion.
A profound exploration of innocence and morality clashing with a corrupt society.
Translated by Constance Garnett, this edition includes an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent. Prince Myshkin embodies a rare blend of the Christian ideal of perfection combined with Dostoevsky’s personal insights and struggles. As he navigates the chaotic world of love and money, his calm and selfless spirit sharply contrasts with the worldly and often cynical traits of those around him. Through this contrast, Dostoevsky delivers a powerful critique of the Russian ruling class, exposing a society unable to accept the genuine goodness represented by Myshkin, the “idiot.”
