Description

What if true goodness made the world uncomfortable? The Idiot is Dostoevsky's powerful novel about innocence, cruelty, and the cost of staying pure in a world that rewards deception. Prince Myshkin, recently returned from years of treatment in a Swiss clinic, walks through the aristocratic society of 19th-century Russia with compassion, honesty, and a profound sensitivity-traits that make him an outsider in every room. Torn between two women, manipulated by greedy nobles, and surrounded by social intrigue, Myshkin's moral clarity slowly becomes his downfall. This deeply human story explores the tragic impossibility of living with radical goodness in a broken world. What you'll discover inside: -A Timeless Portrait of Innocence - The unforgettable character of Prince Myshkin. -A Complex Tapestry of Emotion - Love, betrayal, and spiritual yearning in high society. -A Tragic Moral Conflict - What happens when a pure soul meets a cynical world. -A Modern, Faithful Adaptation - Captures the novel's emotional depth and clarity for today's listeners. Let the voice of Dostoevsky awaken your heart and conscience. The Idiot is more than a novel-it's a spiritual reckoning.
