The Idiot: Introduction by Richard Pevear [With Ribbon Book Mark] Hardcover - 2002
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; Richard Pevear (Translator); Larissa Volokhonsky (Translator)
Summary
From the jacket flap
From the award-winning translators of "The Brothers Karamazov, a superb new translation of the novel in which Dostoevsky set out to portray "a truly beautiful soul."
In "The Idiot, Prince Myshkin, a saintly man, is thrust into the heart of a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal, and murder follow, as Dostoevsky's "positively good man" clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his moral idealism.
This wonderfully fresh and faithful translation--never before published--is sure to become the definitive edition in English.
