Full description for The Idiot with the Bookmark
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) From award-winning translators, a masterful new translation-never before published-of the novel in which Fyodor Dostoevsky set out to portray a truly beautiful soul. Just two years after completing "Crime and Punishment," Dostoevsky produced a second novel with a very different man at its center. In "The Idiot," the saintly Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon becomes entangled in a love triangle with a notorious kept woman, Nastasya, and a beautiful young girl, Aglaya. Extortion and scandal escalate to murder, as Dostoevsky's "positively beautiful man" clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his innocence and moral idealism. "The Idiot" is both a powerful indictment of that society and a rich and gripping masterpiece.
