THE IDIOT by FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY

Prince Myshkin returns to Russia after years of treatment abroad, bringing with him a rare innocence that society mistakes for foolishness. In The Idiot, Dostoevsky places a genuinely good man in a world driven by ego, greed, and manipulation. The result is both tragic and revealing, as Myshkin’s sincerity disrupts and exposes the flaws of everyone around him. The novel blends romance, psychological tension, and philosophical depth, raising questions about morality and whether purity can survive in a corrupt world. It’s a slow burn, but its emotional impact lingers long after the final page.
