About this book
The Idiot is a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published in 1869. Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium. His kindness and openness lead many to take him for a fool.
In St Petersburg he is drawn into a tangle of rivalries and passions around the proud Nastasya Filippovna and the headstrong Aglaya Epanchina. Dostoevsky wanted to portray a man who is truly good, and the novel asks what happens when such a person enters a society ruled by money, pride and desire.
