"The Idiot" is perhaps Fyodor Dostoevsky's darkest and at the same time most sensual novel. Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after staying in a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself drawn into a complex love triangle. His sincere impulses and feelings collide with a cruel world of jealousy, vanity, and the satiety of those around him. But the true intensity of the novel is provided by its two central heroines: the beautiful and arrogant Nastasya Filippovna Barashkova, who masks the suffering of her soul by mocking others, and Aglaya Epanchina, who is desperately striving to break free from her dull environment.
