The Idiot Book Description “I think The Idiot is a masterpiece, yes, like many masterpieces, it is flawed, at times tiring or too exciting, but it is still as important a part of world literature as the intensely dramatic The Brothers Karamazov or the incredibly subtle and frightening Possessed.” –AS Byatt Unlike Dostoyevsky's previous novels, The Idiot, which he wrote away from Russia and compiled by his second wife and printer Anna Grigoryevna, was first published serially in the Russkiy Vestnik newspaper between 1868 and 1869. Dostoyevsky, who lost his daughter during the writing of the novel, was also struggling with epileptic seizures. In The Idiot, Prince Myshkin is torn between two women in Russia, where he returns to receive his inheritance. On the one hand, Nastasya. Aglaya on the other side. Rogojin, the son of a rich merchant, who is madly in love with Nastasya, and Ganya, a corrupt and greedy man, will also enter this triangle. Prince Myshkin, a pure and good man like the prophets, whom Dostoyevsky said he wrote to "describe a completely beautiful person", soon finds himself in a world where scandals and even murder occur. Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, in which he explores what it means to remain good and clean in a life dominated by money and hypocrisy, and where the plot is more messy and unpredictable compared to his many novels, is considered by many to be one of the author's four greatest works (From the Promotional Bulletin).
