Beschreibung

The Idiot is a novel written by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The 26-year-old Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by the society of St. Petersburg for his trusting nature and naiveté, he finds himself at the center of a struggle between a beautiful kept woman and a virtuous and pretty young girl, both of whom win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin's very goodness precipitates disaster, leaving the impression that, in a world obsessed with money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium may be the only place for a saint.

In her essay "The Epileptic Mode of Being," Elizabeth Dalton wrote that in The Idiot, more than in any other of Dostoevsky's works, we are shown "the actual experience itself" of one mind wrestling with the various tensions of life - rather than simply dwelling on "intellectual speculation," as we see in Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground.

    Adam Cain is dead tired . . . perhaps having died is the reason. 
     
     
     
    Now the team races the clock to save Adam before he dies again . . . this time for good. 
     
     
     
    Lifeforce . . . an Adam Cain adventure. The alien with an attitude is back! 
     
     
     
    But for how long? After the tragic events at the end of Secondary Protocol, the truth is finally revealed to Adam and his friends. Now, he's living on borrowed time as his resurrected body is rapidly deteriorating. To save Adam, the mutants—Panur and Lila—must take him to the Sol-Kor universe. But in doing so, they awaken the wrath of Queen J'nae who will use all her resources to destroy Panur—along with any hope of Adam surviving. 
     
     
     
    And to add insult to injury, while the team is racing to save Adam's life, the New Klin from Kracion's universe have invaded the Milky Way. Surprised that the mutants and Adam are nowhere to be found, the Klin are having a field day running rampant within the galaxy. What reality will Adam and the mutants find when—and if—they return to the home galaxy? And if they do make it back, will they make it back in time?
