Book Description | The novel "The Idiot" is one of the most expressive examples of Dostoevsky's ability to peer into the inner workings of the human soul. This "Idiot" is a prince, from a lineage of princes known in Russian history, but his personality and life path are nothing like those princes who command and are obeyed. Rather, he is a kind, simple person, whose emotions can be aroused and influenced by a mere display of tenderness, or an expression of need, sadness, or grief... and therefore he appears to be an "idiot" in the eyes of society. "Why does nature create the best people only to mock them later?... I did not corrupt anyone... I wanted to live for the happiness of all people... to discover the truth and spread it... What was the result? Nothing! The result was that you despise me, which is proof that I am an idiot." With these words, Prince Myshkin speaks of himself, that soul that appears weak in the face of human tyranny, foolish in the face of deceit, simple in the face of boasting, absent-minded in the face of hypocrisy, fragile in the face of injustice, and wonderful, strong, and capable in the face of feelings of goodness and love. And friendship. "The Idiot" is one of Dostoevsky's great human models. |
