Krátky popis
Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Idiot is an immaculate portrait of
innocence tainted by the brutal reality of human greed. This
Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Russian by David
McDuff, with an introduction by William Mills Todd III. Returning
to St Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naive
epileptic Prince Myshkin - the titular 'idiot' - pays a visit to
his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the
General, his wife, and his three daughters.But his life is thrown
into turmoil when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful
Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated with her, he soon finds
himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of
blackmail, betrayal, and finally, murder. Inspired by an image of
Christ's suffering Dostoyevsky sought to portray in Prince Myshkin
the purity of a 'truly beautiful soul' and explore the perils that
innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world.David McDuff's new
translation brilliantly captures the novel's idiosyncratic and
dream-like language and the nervous, elliptic flow of the
narrative. This edition also contains a new introduction by William
Mills Todd III, which is a fascinating examination of the pressures
on Dostoyevsky as he wrote the story of his Christ-like hero.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was born in Moscow.From
1849-54 he lived in a convict prison, and in later years his
passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His other works
available in Penguin Classics include Crime &,amp, Punishment,
The Idiot and Demons. If you enjoyed The Idiot, you might like
Anton Chekhov's Ward No.6 and Other Stories, also available in
Penguin Classics. 'McDuff's language is rich and alive'The New York
Times Book Review'[The Idiot's] ... narrative is so
compelling'Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
