The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky with an introduction by Agnes Cardinal, Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accomodate the goodness of this idiot. Review: A Book Titled After Me - A masterpiece, what more can I say? Review: Shorter but still great literary classic! - A good read, shorter, literary classic by Dostoevsky. I really enjoyed this.

Good story.
I bought this awhile ago, but it came with a strange smell. Besides the smell the book was a pretty easy read and enjoyable. Personally I liked to read it before bed.

Classic goodness
I’m still only 350 pages in, but I love this book. 19th century Russian literature is where it’s at. I feel like I have lived Myshikin’s l life today.

Profundo, Emocional e Filosófico
The Idiot (O Idiota), de Fiódor Dostoiévski, é um romance clássico da literatura russa que explora a bondade, a ingenuidade e os conflitos humanos em uma sociedade complexa e muitas vezes cruel. A história acompanha o príncipe Míchkin, cuja pureza e sinceridade contrastam com a corrupção, ambição e egoísmo das pessoas ao seu redor, levantando questões profundas sobre moralidade, amor e justiça. O grande destaque da obra é a profundidade psicológica e a complexidade dos personagens. Dostoiévski combina drama, filosofia e crítica social de maneira envolvente, oferecendo ao leitor reflexões sobre a natureza humana e os dilemas éticos da vida cotidiana. É um livro intenso, desafiador, mas extremamente recompensador para quem aprecia literatura clássica e reflexão existencial.
