Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent.

Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky’s own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accommodate the goodness of this idiot.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fiódor Dostoiévski foi um dos maiores romancistas do século XIX. Nasceu em 1821, em Moscovo, e teve uma vida pautada por dificuldades, incluindo a prisão e o exílio na Sibéria por envolvimento político. Essas experiências influenciaram profundamente a sua escrita, centrada na psicologia, na moral e no sofrimento humano. Entre os seus livros mais conhecidos estão Crime e Castigo e Os Irmãos Karamázov.
Morreu em 1881, deixando um legado fundamental na história da literatura.
