Description

About the Book:

Dostoevsky‘s The Idiot is a compelling exploration of human nature, morality, and the complexities of love. Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, Prince Myshkin, a Christ-like figure with epilepsy, finds himself embroiled in a web of love and betrayal. Torn between two women – the notorious Nastasya and the pure Aglaia – who are both involved with the money-hungry Ganya, Myshkin’s innate honesty and integrity are tested against the moral emptiness of those around him.

The Idiot is a profound and philosophical novel that delves into the depths of the human soul. Through Myshkin’s character, Dostoevsky examines the nature of goodness, the complexities of human relationships, and the inherent moral dilemmas that confront us all. Anna Brailovsky’s revision of the Garnett translation restores the syntactical structure of the original story, correcting inaccuracies and providing readers with a more authentic reading experience.

This edition of The Idiot offers readers the opportunity to immerse themselves in Dostoevsky‘s rich and complex narrative, exploring timeless themes of love, morality, and the search for meaning in a world fraught with moral ambiguity.
