The Idiot
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
In this profound exploration of purity in a fallen world, Prince Myshkin—a man of profound, childlike innocence—returns to the opulent and morally fractured society of 19th-century St. Petersburg. Often referred to as a "positively good man," Myshkin’s radical honesty and unwavering compassion act as a mirror, exposing the vanity, greed, and spiritual turmoil of the aristocratic circles he navigates. His presence triggers a series of tragic, high-stakes entanglements, most notably his complex relationships with the mercurial beauty Nastasya Filippovna and the passionate Aglaya, forcing those around him to confront their own latent darkness.
