Yet again, the author describes the image of contemporary Russia. However, the characters in the novel have many facets, true passions and emotions that unravel alongside the story. His honesty beyond compare, often interpreted as paranoia, creates an uneasy feeling of disbelief around him. The story is placed in Russia in the middle of the 19 th century, where a young prince-and one of the most genuinely good and innocent heroes of world literature-is crushed under the weight of the unbearable reality. The title is but an ironic reference to the protagonist, the naïve and unbitter, Myshkin. In this case, Dostoyevsky focuses on the portrayal of a perfectly beautiful and good man. The Idiot, as an introspective and psychographic work that realistically embodies the personal turbulences and existential explorations of the author, is highly experiential and investigates matters of spirituality as well as philosophy.
Initially published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger, 1868-1869, the author writes its entirety in Europe in a time of deep poverty, desperation and nostalgia for his home country. The Idiot is a novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
