Beschreibung
A new translation of a novel that ranks among the most famous works of Russian literature. The young prince Myshkin, completely impoverished and afflicted with epilepsy, experiences such extraordinary stories upon returning from a Swiss sanatorium that he falls back into his mental illness. He meets the merchant Parfyon Rogozhin, in whom the prince sees primarily an unhappy man and feels compassion for him. People who cannot understand his goodness label Myshkin an idiot, even though he possesses so much inner nobility and humanity that he stands out from his surroundings. Myshkin enchants with his innocence and composure – the author presents the hero as a person who could elevate the world; however, Myshkin's philosophy of humility and universal love brings misfortune to those he loves, and ultimately to himself...
