A philosophical and psychological novel where Prince Myshkin’s innocence and compassion collide with a corrupt society, revealing the tragic fate of goodness in 19th-century Russia.
The Idiot is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s deeply compassionate and philosophical novel, first published in 1868–69. It follows Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a gentle and guileless man returning to Russia after treatment for epilepsy in Switzerland. His innocence and moral clarity clash with the cynicism and corruption of high society, leading others to mistake him for a fool—“an idiot.”
As Myshkin navigates love, betrayal, and spiritual crisis, Dostoevsky explores the tension between purity and depravity, reason and emotion, and the tragic fate of goodness in a fallen world. A profound meditation on human nature, The Idiot remains one of the most emotionally resonant novels in world literature.
