The Idiot
4,36 €
The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and “be among the people.” Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant’s son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. Scandal escalates to murder leading to a final scene that is one of the most powetrful in all of world literature. 633p.
In his second novel, Dostoevsky sought to portray “a positively beautiful man, ” a saintly paragon in contrast to the murderer Raskolnikov of his first novel. Through Myshkin’s struggle, in which his corruption seems fated, Dostoevsky offers a brilliant indictment of a society that cannot countenance virtue.
After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in THE IDIOT to portray a man of pure innocence.
