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?

"One of the most compassionate and psychologically rich novels ever written." – The Guardian

"Dostoevsky's Prince Myshkin is among literature's most noble and heartbreaking characters." – The New York Times
