The Idiot

Set in 19th-century Russia, this novel explores the life of Prince Myshkin, a kind-hearted and naive man whose innocence starkly contrasts with the corruption of society around him. As he navigates the complexities of love, morality, and social dynamics, Myshkin's interactions with various characters reveal deep philosophical questions about the nature of goodness and the human condition. Dostoevsky delves into themes of identity, mental illness, and the struggle between idealism and reality, making this a profound psychological exploration.
