About This Book

Prince Myshkin, a saintly and guileless man, returns to St. Petersburg society after years of treatment in a Swiss sanatorium. His extreme honesty and compassion contrast sharply with the greed and corruption of the Russian aristocracy. The novel explores the tragic consequences of placing a 'positively good' individual in a worldly and egoistic society.
