A classic novel of innocence, guilt, and morality by a Russian master
In one of Dostoevsky's most personal novels, Prince Myshkin, an almost comically innocent Christ figure in a land of sinners, returns to Russia from a sanitorium in Switzerland. His naivete and his faith in beauty contrasts sharply with that of his society, earning him the reputation of the idiot. Prince Myshkin's morality is tested when he becomes caught in a love triangle and falls into betrayal and tragedy.
