About the book

Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot follows Prince Lev Myshkin, a compassionate and guileless young man who returns to Russia after treatment in Switzerland. His openness and moral innocence unsettle the competitive, status-conscious society around him, particularly as he becomes entangled with the troubled Nastasya Filippovna and the passionate Rogozhin. The novel explores goodness, desire, jealousy, money, faith and the difficulty of remaining innocent in a corrupt world.
