What if being truly good made you the ultimate outsider?
In The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoevsky weaves a powerful story of innocence clashing with the harsh realities of society. Prince Lev Myshkin, an open-hearted and compassionate man, returns to Russia after years abroad, only to be caught in a whirlwind of intrigue, romantic rivalry, and the dark forces of human nature. His honesty and idealism challenge the corruption and cynicism of the world around him—but at what cost?
This modern translation captures the depth and brilliance of Dostoevsky's original work while making it clear and accessible for contemporary readers.
