ISBN: 9780553211368.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom award-winning translators, a masterful new translation–never before published–of the novel in which Fyodor Dostoevsky set out to portray a truly beautiful soul.Just two years after completing Crime and Punishment , Dostoevsky produced a second novel with a very different man at its center. In The Idiot , the saintly Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon becomes entangled in a love triangle with a notorious kept woman, Nastasya, and a beautiful young girl, Aglaya. Extortion and scandal escalate to murder, as Dostoevsky’s “positively beautiful man” clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his innocence and moral idealism. The Idiot is both a powerful indictment of that society and a rich and gripping masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bantam Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987643363381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0553211366","price":60.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780553211368_07e4bb63-13f3-450a-ab64-205b52bc2d5b.jpg?v=1778811522","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/idiotthe-9780553211368","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
