Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot is a profound exploration of innocence in a world marred by cynicism, power, and moral decay. At the heart of the novel is Prince Lev Myshkin, a pure and compassionate soul who returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself entangled in the intrigues of high society. His honesty and kindness, mistaken for idiocy, make him both a target and a mirror for those around him.Set in the richly complex world of 19th-century Russian aristocracy, the novel examines themes of morality, mental health, and the cost of goodness in a corrupt world.
