The Idiot (1868), written under the appalling personal
circumstances Dostoevsky endured while travelling in Europe, not
only reveals the author's acute artistic sense and penetrating
psychological insight, but also affords his most powerful
indictment of a Russia struggling to emulate contemporary Europe
while sinking under the weight of Western materialism. It is the
portrait of nineteenth-century Russian society in which a
"positively good man" clashes with the emptiness of a society that
cannot accommodate his moral idealism. Meticulously faithful to the
original, this new translation includes explanatory notes and a
critical introduction by W.J. Leatherbarrow.
