Samenvatting:

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.
