Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot

Būklė - labai gera

A haunting parable of innocence undone, The Idiot stands as Dostoevsky's most personal and most disquieting novel. It follows the gentle and guileless Prince Myshkin, recently returned to St Petersburg from treatment in a Swiss sanatorium, whose radical honesty and spiritual clarity set him at odds with the vanities and cruelties of Russian high society. His presence unravels a web of greed, desire and wounded pride as he becomes entangled with the beautiful, self-destructive Nastasya Filippovna and the tormented Rogozhin. Can goodness persist in a world built on deceit? Or does purity, in such a world, become its own kind of delusion?
