Translated By Constance Garnett, With An Introduction And Notes By Agnes Cardinal, Honorary Senior Lecturer In Comparative Literature At The University Of Kent. Prince Myshkin Returns To Russia From An Asylum In Switzerland. As He Becomes Embroiled In The Frantic Amatory And Financial Intrigues Which Centre Around A Cast Of Brilliantly Realised Characters And Which Ultimately Lead To Tragedy, He Emerges As A Unique Combination Of The Christian Ideal Of Perfection And Dostoevsky'S Own Views, Afflictions And Manners. His Serene Selflessness Is Contrasted With The Worldly Qualities Of Every Other Character In The Novel. Dostoevsky Supplies A Harsh Indictment Of The Russian Ruling Class Of His Day Who Have Created A World Which Cannot Accomodate The Goodness Of This Idiot. Review: The book was a little messed up - There were a few small light dark patches on the side... the borders were in a bad condition and most importantly, the cover itself was completely different as to what was shown in the picture, let's be real, we all like a nice cover. Otherwise the pages were quite fine if I say so Review: Good enough copy - you really get what you pay for here , and I mean look its a book it will last you maybe 1-2 read throughs but after it will probably be in tatters , paper is ok , cover was a bit beat up. Overall buy it if you wanna try Fyodor Dostoevsky like I did

Profundo, Emocional e Filosófico
The Idiot (O Idiota), de Fiódor Dostoiévski, é um romance clássico da literatura russa que explora a bondade, a ingenuidade e os conflitos humanos em uma sociedade complexa e muitas vezes cruel. A história acompanha o príncipe Míchkin, cuja pureza e sinceridade contrastam com a corrupção, ambição e egoísmo das pessoas ao seu redor, levantando questões profundas sobre moralidade, amor e justiça. O grande destaque da obra é a profundidade psicológica e a complexidade dos personagens. Dostoiévski combina drama, filosofia e crítica social de maneira envolvente, oferecendo ao leitor reflexões sobre a natureza humana e os dilemas éticos da vida cotidiana. É um livro intenso, desafiador, mas extremamente recompensador para quem aprecia literatura clássica e reflexão existencial.
