"Tras retratar magistralmente la figura culpable en Crimen y castigo, Dostoievski ahonda en El idiota en el alma torturada de un hombre inocente. El joven y piadoso príncipe Mishkin regresa a su Rusia natal de un sanatorio suizo donde ha estado varios años para recibir una herencia y "mezclarse con la gente". Sin embargo, en San Petersburgo solo le aguarda una sociedad obsesionada con el dinero, el poder y la manipulación que pondrá a prueba su moral y sus puros sentimientos. Antes de llegar a su destino conoce al inquietante Rogozhin, hijo de un acaudalado mercader, cuya fijación por la hermosa Nastasia Filíppovna acabará por arrastrar a los tres protagonistas a un fatal desenlace."--Amazon.

Work Description
Inspired by an image of Christ's suffering, Fyodor Dostoyevsky set out to portray "a truly beautiful soul" colliding with the brutal reality of contemporary society. Returning to St. Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naive Prince Myshkin—known as "the idiot"—pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General and his circle. But after becoming infatuated with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna, Myshkin finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and, ultimately, murder. This new translation by David McDuff is sensitive to the shifting registers of the original Russian, capturing the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative for a new generation of readers.
