Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's masterful translation of
The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and
Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive
Dostoevsky in English. After his great portrayal of a guilty man in
Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a
man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin,
following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to
Russia to collect an inheritance and "be among people." Even before
he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son
whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually
draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the
prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money,
power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky
traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on
the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the
most powerful in all of world literature.
Medvedík by si zo všetkého najviac želal krásnu loptu. Kde by ju
len mohol nájsť? Asi to bude riadna fuška. Jedna guľatá vec je
príliš veľká, druhá malá, ďalšia veľmi ťažká… So žiadnou sa nedá
hrať. Vie vôbec, ako taká pravá lopta vyzerá?
