The Idiot is one of Fyodor Dostoevsky's masterpieces. It tells the story of the young Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who returns to Russia from a sanatorium in Switzerland. Myshkin is a quintessential 'idiot', meant in the sense of an innocent, impressionable, and idealistic character. His return sets off a complex chain of events, which foregrounds Dostoevsky's themes of existential angst, the clash of good and evil, and the life of the Russian aristocracy.
