The Idiot

Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky’s “The Idiot” is a haunting exploration of human nature, following Prince Myshkin, a man so pure-hearted he’s deemed an “idiot” by society. As I read, I found myself captivated by the complex characters and their tangled relationships. The novel’s deep dive into morality, love, and suffering left me pondering long after I closed the book. Dostoevsky’s masterful prose paints a vivid picture of 19th-century Russian society, making you feel as if you’re walking the streets of St. Petersburg alongside the characters.

Beauty will save the world.
