The Idiot | Fyodor Dostovesky
The story follows Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a kind-hearted and naive man who returns to Russia after years of medical treatment in Switzerland for epilepsy. His pure-hearted nature and honesty make him an outsider among the aristocracy, where deceit, ambition, and greed dominate. As he becomes entangled in a love triangle with the beautiful but troubled Nastasya Filippovna and the ambitious Aglaya Ivanovna, Myshkin's idealism is put to the test in a world that sees his goodness as foolishness.
