Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot is a profound and compassionate exploration of innocence, morality, and the human soul. When Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin—kind-hearted, honest, and seemingly naïve—returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium, his purity and sincerity collide with the corruption and cynicism of St. Petersburg society.Drawn into a tangled web of love, greed, and betrayal, Myshkin’s goodness becomes both his greatest virtue and his undoing. Through his tragic encounters with the passionate Nastasya Filippovna and the worldly Rogozhin, Dostoevsky exposes the moral decay and spiritual emptiness of a world unprepared for genuine virtue.Haunting, philosophical, and deeply human, The Idiot stands as one of Dostoevsky’s greatest masterpieces—a timeless reflection on the struggle between innocence and experience, compassion and cruelty, faith and despair.
