A misunderstood soul. A society unwilling to accept true goodness. A timeless classic reimagined for today's reader.
In The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers one of the most profound and psychologically rich novels ever written. Prince Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin-an epileptic, a mystic, and a man of pure heart-returns to Russia after years in a Swiss clinic. Hoping to find connection and peace, he is instead drawn into a web of social intrigue, romantic obsession, and spiritual collapse. His radical compassion and unflinching honesty unsettle everyone around him-raising a provocative question: in a broken world, is goodness itself a form of madness?
