Idiot (Part 01 and 02)

The Idiot, written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and published in 1869, follows Prince Myshkin, a man with epilepsy who returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium. As he navigates the complexities of St. Petersburg society, his innocence and naivety provoke a range of reactions from those around him, including mockery and protectiveness. The novel explores themes of morality, social criticism, and the nature of goodness through Myshkin's interactions with characters like the troubled Rogozhin and the enigmatic Natasha Filippovna. This work is notable for its deep psychological insight and its critique of Russian society.
