The Idiot

What happens when pure goodness meets a flawed world?
Returning to Russia after years abroad for medical treatment, Prince Lev Myshkin-gentle, compassionate, and guilelessly honest-is thrust into the heart of St. Petersburg's turbulent social circles. His innocence and moral clarity, while admired by some, make him an object of ridicule and a pawn in a web of romantic rivalry, greed, and deceit.
First published in 1869, The Idiot is Fyodor Dostoevsky's deeply human exploration of morality, beauty, and the fragility of virtue in a corrupt society. Through Myshkin's tragic journey, Dostoevsky asks: Can a truly good person survive in a world driven by selfishness and desire?
