Idiot

Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski

The novel The Idiot (1868–1869) is a profound psychological and philosophical study of human nature, morality, and spirituality, set in 19th-century Russian society. It is one of the most significant novels not only by the famous Russian novelist, but als

The main character, Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man with a pure heart and childlike naivety, returns to Russia after being treated for epilepsy in Switzerland. Because of his honesty and kindness, he is considered an "idiot", but his simplicity exposes the hypocrisy and moral vanity of society.

Mishkin gets involved in the complex relationships between the passionate Nastasja Filipovna, the self-centered Rogozin and the young Aga Petevna. His love for Nastasja, whom he sees as a sufferer, and his attempt to save her, lead him into conflict with Rogozin, whose obsessive passion culminates tragically. The novel explores the themes of Christian ethics, sacrifice and the conflict between the spiritual ideal and worldly passions. Mishkin's kindness, although noble, often causes misunderstandings, and his inability to adapt to social games leads to his downfall.

Dostoevsky masterfully portrays the inner struggles of the characters, using dialogue and monologues to expose their motives. The novel raises questions about the possibility of holiness in a world full of greed and immorality. It ends tragically, highlighting the impossibility of Myshkin's ideal in a corrupt society. The Idiot is a masterpiece that questions faith, love, and human nature, leaving a powerful impression with its emotional depth and philosophical complexity.

Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski

Sva djela objavljena u ovom svesku odražavaju sposobnost Dostojevskog da kroz humor, satiru i psihološku dubinu razotkrije ljudske slabosti, društvene mane i moralne dileme, često s univerzalnim temama koje odjekuju i danas.

Maurice Druon

Velike porodice je najbolji Drionov roman. Pisac je u njemu, na veoma živ i upečatljiv način, dao presjek francuskog društva nakon Prvog svjetskog rata: pojedini likovi romana postaju kao živi svjedoci svoga vremena.
