📱 eBook en inglés THE IDIOT

"Beauty will save the world."
Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a man of such pure honesty and childlike simplicity that he is mockingly dubbed "The Idiot," returns to the shark-infested waters of St. Petersburg society after years in a Swiss sanatorium. Seeking only to find the good in others, he is quickly ensnared in a volatile love triangle between the beautiful, traumatized "fallen woman" Nastasya Filippovna and the dark, obsessive merchant Rogozhin. As the Princes saintly influence clashes with the vanity and greed of the Russian elite, Dostoevsky poses a devastating question: Can a truly good man survive in a world that is anything but?
The Christ-Like Protagonist: Dostoevskys goal was to depict a "perfectly beautiful" soul. Myshkin is a radical departure from the traditional literary hero; he is compassionate to a fault, lacks any ego, and suffers from epilepsy—a condition Dostoevsky shared and described with visceral, transcendent detail. The Prince is a mirror in which every other character sees their own failings and hidden virtues.
A Tragedy of Modernity: The Idiot is a searing critique of a society obsessed with status, money, and intellectual posturing. Through the eccentric Epanchin family and the nihilistic youth of St. Petersburg, Dostoevsky captures a world on the brink of collapse, where genuine emotion is mistaken for madness and kindness is viewed as a fatal weakness. The novels shocking conclusion remains one of the most powerful and debated endings in all of world literature.
