Synopsis
Welcome to Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot. In this edition of this novel, first published in 1869, we are proud to offer you the best edition of this literary masterpiece featuring one of the most acclaimed classics of all times. The Idiot was first published serially in The Russian Messenger between 1868 and 1869. The Idiot is often considered one of the most brilliant literary achievements of the "Golden Age" of Russian literature. In The Idiot, the 26-year-old Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by the society of St. Petersburg for his trusting nature and naiveté, he finds himself at the center of a struggle between a beautiful kept woman and a virtuous and pretty young girl, both of whom win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin's very goodness precipitates disaster, leaving the impression that, in a world obsessed with money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium may be the only place for a saint. Enjoy this Mogul Classics edition of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot.

From the Back Cover
'The chief thing is that they all need him' -thus Dostoyevsky described Prince Myshkin, the hero of perhaps his most remarkable novel. As the still, radiant center of a plot whose turbulent action is extraordinary even for Dostoyevsky, Myshkin succeeds in dominating through sheer force a personality a cast of characters who vividly and violently embody the passions and conflicts of the 19th century Russia.
About the Author
FyodorDostoyevsky (18211881), one of nineteenth-century Russias greatest novelists, spent four years in a convict prison in Siberia, after which he was obliged to enlist in the army. In later years his penchant for gambling sent him deeply into debt. Most of his important works were written after 1864, including Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov, all available from Penguin Classics.
