The Idiot (AmazonClassics Edition)

In Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot, Prince Muishkin returns to St. Petersburg after epilepsy treatment, eager to reconnect with a wealthy relative's family. His innocence and charm quickly draw others in, placing him at the heart of society's intricate web of jealousy, betrayal, and violence. As Muishkin navigates his divided loyalties between two women—one seeking love and the other salvation—he confronts a morally complex world where virtuous choices often seem unattainable. This revised edition highlights Dostoyevsky’s most personal exploration of morality amidst corruption.
