Bag om The Idiot

The Idiot is a novel in four parts written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The story revolves around Prince Myshkin, a young man who returns to Russia after spending several years in a Swiss sanatorium.

Despite this, he quickly becomes embroiled in the complex and often corrupt world of 19th century Russian high society.The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, as Myshkin becomes entangled in a love triangle between two very different women: Nastasya Filippovna, a beautiful and troubled woman with a dark past, and Aglaya Ivanovna, a young and innocent girl who is drawn to Myshkin's goodness.Throughout the novel, Dostoevsky also delves into the political and social issues of the time, including the growing divide between the wealthy and the poor, the rise of nihilism, and the corruption of the ruling class.The Idiot is considered one of Dostoevsky's greatest works, and is renowned for its complex characters, intricate plot, and profound exploration of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
