Prince Myshkin, a good yet simple man, is out of place in the corrupt world created by Russia's ruling class.

About the Author

Fyodor���Dostoyevsky (1821���1881), one of nineteenth-century Russia���s 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.
