![The Idiot [With Ribbon Book Mark] by Dostoevsky, Fyodor](http://snagbooks.com/cdn/shop/products/img_f8039047-fdc3-49e1-9499-91e37bd3c464_{width}x.jpg?v=1605472075)
In The Idiot, the saintly Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon becomes entangled in a love triangle with a notorious kept woman, Nastasya, and a beautiful young girl, Aglaya. Extortion and scandal escalate to murder, as Dostoevsky's "positively beautiful man" clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his innocence and moral idealism. The Idiot is both a powerful indictment of that society and a rich and gripping masterpiece.
From award-winning translators, a masterful new translation-never before published-of the novel in which Fyodor Dostoevsky set out to portray a truly beautiful soul. (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Binding Type: Hardcover
