Description
The Idiot – Fyodor Dostoevsky
Innocence tested. Truth unveiled. Humanity revealed. Discover The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Set in 19th-century Russia, this profound novel explores the fragile boundary between goodness and corruption through the story of Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin — a man of pure heart and unwavering honesty. Returning to St. Petersburg after years of illness, Myshkin’s compassion and sincerity strike society as naïve, even foolish. Yet in a world consumed by ambition, greed, and deceit, his purity becomes both his strength and his downfall.
Through a tapestry of love, betrayal, and moral conflict, Dostoevsky examines innocence, judgment, and the struggle to remain untainted by darkness. With piercing psychological depth and philosophical insight, The Idiot asks one timeless question: can true goodness survive in a flawed world?
“Beauty will save the world.”
A masterpiece of spiritual and emotional realism, The Idiot is a meditation on truth, suffering, and redemption — a journey into the heart of humanity itself.
