Идиот

Dostoevsky created "The Idiot" while experiencing one of the most difficult periods of his life. Creditors from whom he had to flee abroad, the death of his three-month-old daughter, a pathological addiction to roulette… His desperate situation pushed the writer to take on the idea that had long troubled him — to write a novel about a "positively beautiful man".

In a world ruled by vices, Prince Myshkin, with his meekness and kindness, forgiveness and love for humanity, turns out to be a madman. Intent on saving the soul of the fateful beauty Nastasya Filippovna, he stands in the way of the destructive passion of merchant Parfyon Rogozhin… And the end of this story can only be death.
