The study of natural kindness is Dostoevsky's most moving novel. Prince Myshkin, the last poor member of a once-great family and considered by many to be an idiot, returns to Russia from a sanatorium in Switzerland to collect an inheritance. Before he even reaches his home, he becomes involved with Rogozhin, the son of a wealthy merchant, whose obsession with the captivating Nastasya Filippovna ultimately draws all three to a tragic end. However, this is only the main framework of a rich and complex book in which a dazzling array of characters, from generals to peddlers, presents the picture of an entire society on the brink of collapse. A tragicomic masterpiece.
