He is kind, honest, and utterly incapable of surviving in the world. They call him an idiot.

In The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoevsky presents one of the most profound and emotionally powerful novels ever written—a searching exploration of innocence, compassion, and the complexities of human nature. The story follows Prince Lev Myshkin, a gentle and compassionate man who returns to Russia after years of treatment abroad and finds himself surrounded by a society driven by wealth, pride, jealousy, and ambition. His sincerity and moral purity attract both admiration and suspicion, especially as he becomes entangled with the tragic and passionate Nastasya Filippovna and the proud, conflicted Rogozhin. Through Myshkin’s journey, Dostoevsky examines whether true goodness can survive in a world marked by selfishness, suffering, and moral compromise.
