Beschrijving
Prince Lyov Nikolayevitch Myshkin is one of the great characters in Russian literature. Is he a saint or just naive? Is he an idealist or, as many in General Epanchin's society feel, an 'idiot'? Certainly, his return to St. Petersburg after years in a Swiss clinic has a dramatic effect on the beautiful Aglaia, youngest of the Epanchin daughters, and on the charismatic but willful Nastasya Filippovna. As he paints a vivid picture of Russian society, Dostoyevsky shows how principles conflict with emotions - with tragic results.

Sophisticated topics the signature sign of DostoevskyTo save someone you need to truly love them. Myshkin feels sorry for Nastasya and Rogozin feels passion towards her.Myshkin - JesusRogozin- devilThe only positive woman character in this novel is Vera Lebedeva.It’s always though to read Dostoevsky because he re opens your soul and force you to dig deeper until you start to reflect what a sinner you are. This book also shows how Russian society is sick and is not ready for the second Jesus appearance.
