Produktbeschreibung
"The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Prince Lef Nicolaievitch Muishkin, a young man returning to Russia after spending several years in a Swiss sanatorium for epilepsy. Through the prince, Dostoevsky explores themes of innocence, social dynamics, and the clash between idealism and the harsh realities of life. At the start of the novel, the prince is introduced on a train coming into St. Petersburg, where he meets fellow passengers who engage in conversation about their circumstances and backgrounds. Notably, he encounters Rogojin, a passionate and wealthy man who seems to have a deep interest in a beautiful woman named Nastasia Philipovna. The narrative begins to hint at complex relationships, societal expectations, and Muishkin's unique perspective on life shaped by his illness and previous isolation. The opening chapters set a stage rich with contrasts between characters and unveil the future pivotal role that love and tragedy will play in the lives of these individuals.

Autorenporträt
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (11 November 1821 - 9 February 1881) was a Russian novelist. Many scholars see Dostoyevsky as one of the greatest psychologists in literature. His works have had a big effect on twentieth-century fiction. Very often, he wrote about characters who live in poor conditions. Those characters are sometimes in extreme states of mind. They might show both a strange grasp of human psychology as well as good analyses of the political, social and spiritual states of Russia of Dostoevsky's time. Many of Dostoyevsky's best-known works are prophetic. He is sometimes considered to be a founder of existentialism, most frequently for Notes from Underground, which has been described as the best overture for existentialism ever written. He is also famous for writing The Brothers Karamazov, which many critics, such as Sigmund Freud, have said was one of the best novels ever written.
