Идиот

Such rich plots are always "doomed" to evoke an automatic sense of presence in the reader. The secret lies not only in the eventful twists and turns but also in the beautifully crafted characters and the electric charges between them. The sum of all parts becomes the transformation of the sense of presence into the "effect of participation": as you immerse yourself in the novel, you first become an invisible witness to the events, and then you merge with the main character so thoroughly that you see through his eyes and measure his world with the beating of your own heart. And then the main question arises: how to survive in this world that seemed fictional and suddenly became so real, and how not to go insane here? After all, can society determine the degree of someone’s "normality"? In general, who among us is Prince Myshkin? 

With care for your eyes! A large print edition for reading convenience.
