World Classics - The Idiot

Why is it that people mistake sincerity, kindness and positivity as stupidness? Lev Myshkin has all these great character qualities and certainly is no idiot though everyone assumes him to be one. "The Idiot" is one of Dostoevsky's most emotional and private novels, where the author talks about intimate issues, often neglected or totally ignored in contemporary Russian society. Religious discussions and symbolism, philosophical endeavours, and existential ups and down mark the novel's entirety, turning it into a compelling and remarkable read, perfect for fans of Dostoevsky and Russian literature in general.-
