Fool
Translation by Mazlum Beyhan, foreword by Liza Knapp, afterword by Murray Krieger, with author and period chronology. The Idiot is the most perfect and satisfying portrayal of the Russian moral ideal in literature. In a letter he wrote to his niece Sonya, to whom he dedicated The Idiot, Dostoyevsky explains the basic idea of the novel as follows: "My intention is to tell about a completely good person." When Prince Miskin, the hero created by the author with this idea, returns to St. Petersburg from a mental hospital in Switzerland to receive his inheritance, he finds himself in a triangle of betrayal, intrigue and murder. Miskin's innocence, honesty and humility are at odds with the values of the society he wants to join. It creates a clear contrast. He is like a perfect example of goodness, with his prophet-like qualities, free from worldly blessings and ambitions.
"The Idiot is the most deeply tragic, even the most painful, of Dostoyevsky's books, and it is also a unique love story..."
-Edward Hallett Carr-
"... This book of passion is the first great love novel written by Dostoyevsky..."
-Henri Troyat-
