The Idiot
About this book
What if true goodness made a man appear a fool?
The Idiot (1869), by Fyodor Dostoevsky, is a sweeping psychological and philosophical novel that explores innocence, morality, and the corruption of society.
The story follows Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a gentle and compassionate man whose honesty and kindness stand in stark contrast to the greed, intrigue, and cruelty of the Russian aristocracy. Upon returning to Russia after years abroad, Myshkin finds himself entangled in a tragic love triangle with the beautiful but tormented Nastasya Filippovna and the innocent Aglaya Epanchin.
Through Myshkin's struggles, Dostoevsky examines the tension between pure goodness and the harsh realities of human weakness, pride, and desire. Combining romance, tragedy, and deep moral reflection, The Idiot is both a heartbreaking love story and a profound meditation on the nature of virtue in a corrupt world.
Often considered Dostoevsky's most compassionate work, it remains one of the greatest novels of the 19th century.
