Summary

Prince Myshkin, a naive and pure-hearted man, returns to Russia after years in a Swiss sanatorium. His innocence and compassion stand in stark contrast to the greed, corruption, and moral decay of St. Petersburg’s elite. As he becomes entangled in the lives of Rogozhin, a volatile merchant consumed by jealousy, and Nastasya Filippovna, a proud yet vulnerable woman torn between love and self-destruction, themes of virtue, beauty, and suffering emerge. Dostoevsky crafts a poignant exploration of human nature, questioning whether true goodness can survive in a flawed world. A masterpiece of psychological depth and philosophical inquiry.
