Idiot

Idiot

by Fyodor Dostoevsky

National Geographic Books · 1983 · 720 pages

Prince Myshkin, an exiled nobleman returning to Russia, is a man of profound goodness and Christian ideals, a stark contrast to the opulent and corrupt St. Petersburg society he encounters. Drawn into a passionate and dangerous entanglement involving a beautiful, ruined woman and a young, innocent girl, Myshkin's saintly nature is tested to its limits. This sweeping novel explores the complexities of the human heart, the destructive nature of desire, and the enduring struggle between spiritual purity and worldly corruption.
