About the Book

: Considered to be Fyodor Dostoevsky's most autobiographical piece, "The Idiot" suggests that to achieve perfection, one must initially be ignorant of much. Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a descendant of one of Russia's oldest noble families, is portrayed as gentle, good-natured, and epileptic. After spending four years in a Swiss sanatorium, he returns to St. Petersburg. Initially perceived as an "idiot," Prince Myshkin's life takes a significant turn when he encounters a photograph of Nastasya Filippovna while visiting his distant relative, General Yepanchin. Caught in a tangle of love, betrayal, and murder, the Christ-like Prince Myshkin grapples with navigating a chaotic and corrupt Russian society. Dostoevsky stated in a letter from 1868 that the intention of the novel was "to depict a positively good and beautiful human being." Through delving into the psychological intricacies and quirks of contemporary Russian society, Dostoevsky presents the existence of a Russian Holy Fool amidst a world marked by moral emptiness and decay About The Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), a renowned Russian novelist, is celebrated as one of the world's greatest literary figures. His works delve into the complexities of the human condition in 19th-century Russia, exploring political, social, and spiritual landscapes while grappling with profound philosophical and religious themes. Dostoevsky's masterpieces like "Crime and Punishment," "The Idiot," "Demons," and "The Brothers Karamazov" are widely acclaimed. His 1864 novella "Notes from Underground" is considered an early example of existentialist literature. Born in Moscow, Dostoevsky's life encompassed hardships, from his early exposure to literature to imprisonment in Siberia and struggles with addiction. His impact on literature and philosophy extends globally, influencing writers, philosophers, and the development of existentialism and Freudianism. His prolific body of work, translated into over 170 langu
