Idiot. Dostoevsky F.M.

Dostoevsky created an “idiot”, experiencing one of the most difficult periods in his life. The creditors from whom he was forced to escape abroad, the death of a three -month daughter, a pathological attraction to roulette... The desperate position prompted the writer to take up the idea that long tormented him - to write a novel about a "positively beautiful person."

In the world, where vices rule, Prince Myshkin with his meekness and kindness, all -around and love for a person is a madman. Having intended to save the soul of the fateful beauty of Nastasya Filippovna, he stands in the way of the destructive passion of the merchant Parthen Rogozhin... and only one can have the end of this story - death.
