Fyodor Dostoevsky's profound novel "The Idiot" (1869) follows Prince Myshkin, a man whose guileless goodness makes him appear foolish in a cynical society. Returning to Russia after treatment for epilepsy in Switzerland, Myshkin becomes entangled in the lives of the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna and the passionate Rogozhin, while developing feelings for the captivating Aglaya. His pure heart and absolute honesty prove ill-suited for the corruption and moral bankruptcy of St. Petersburg's high society. This masterpiece examines whether a truly good person can survive in a world of scheming, greed and moral compromise. Dostoevsky's brilliant character study remains one of literature's most moving portraits of innocence destroyed by a callous world.
