The Idiot

The Idiot was first published in 1868 by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky.

In The Idiot, the main character, Prince Myshkin, is portrayed as a perfectly good man. He suffers from epilepsy and goes through periods of insanity. The novel follows Myshkin's friendship with Rogozhin and their rivalry over Nastasya, a beautiful woman.

• "Personally this is Dostoevsky's best. It is the hardest topic to cover as a writer--especially in serial form such as Dostoevsky wrote all his novels--truely speaks to his talent." - Barnes & Noble user review

• "The plot wasn't particularly attention grabbing; however, the stories that are spun by Kolya's father are fantastic." - Amazon.com user review
