In The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoevsky weaves a powerful story of innocence clashing with the harsh realities of society. Prince Lev Myshkin, an open-hearted and compassionate man, returns to Russia after years abroad, only to be caught in a whirlwind of intrigue, romantic rivalry, and the dark forces of human nature. His honesty and idealism challenge the corruption and cynicism of the world around him-but at what cost?
