What happens when goodness enters a world that doesn't believe in it?

The Idiot is Fyodor Dostoevsky's deeply moving novel of innocence, faith, and tragedy. Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, returning to Russia after years abroad, is thrust into a corrupt and cynical society. With his unwavering honesty and childlike sincerity, Myshkin becomes both admired and ridiculed—ultimately drawn into a devastating triangle of love, madness, and moral chaos.

Blending philosophical depth, psychological tension, and social critique, The Idiot is Dostoevsky's most tender and tragic examination of what it means to be truly good in a broken world.

📘 This Edition Features: ✔ Complete and unabridged text ✔ Kindle-optimized formatting with clickable table of contents ✔ Ideal for readers of literary fiction, Russian classics, and philosophical novels

💬 What Readers Say: "A heartbreaking masterpiece." "Myshkin is the most unforgettable character in literature." "This novel breaks you open and leaves you wiser."

📥 Download The Idiot today and discover Dostoevsky's haunting meditation on innocence and spiritual conflict.
