How can one talk to a man and not be happy in loving him! Oh, it's only that I'm not able to express it...And what beautiful things there are at every step, that even the most hopeless man must feel to be beautiful! Look at a child! Look at God's sunrise! Look at the grass, how it grows! Look at the eyes that gaze at you and love you!”<br/><br/>Synopsis<br/>Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot was first published in Russian as Idiot in 1868–69. The story revolves around the "primitive" Prince Myshkin's unsettling effect on the sophisticated, conservative Yepanchin family and their friends. Myshkin pays a visit to the Yepanchins, and his strange demeanor and lack of concern for appearances quickly make him a fascinating figure. His hosts put his moral compass to the test, as they are prone to sensuality, acquisitiveness, and crime. Myshkin maintains an unselfish benevolence toward all, but his message of service, compassion, and brotherly love ultimately fails, despite his faith and radiant personality.<br/><br/>"A stunning reprint" At Firster Publishing, we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
