Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, this Classic Edition of Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' offers a profound exploration of faith, society, and human nature. Published by Wordsworth Editions, this paperback edition features 592 pages of timeless literature.
The novel follows Prince Myshkin as he returns to Russia from a Swiss asylum. His innate goodness and serene selflessness are starkly contrasted with the complex amatory and financial intrigues of the brilliantly realised characters surrounding him. Dostoevsky uses Myshkin's journey to offer a critique of the Russian ruling class of his era, depicting a society unable to accommodate the pure intentions of its 'idiot'.
