L'idiota di Fëdor Dostoevskij è un ritratto immacolato dell'innocenza macchiata dalla brutale realtà dell'avidità umana. Questa edizione Penguin Classics è tradotta dal russo da David McDuff, con un'introduzione di William Mills Todd III. Di ritorno a San Pietroburgo da un sanatorio svizzero, il gentile e ingenuo principe epilettico Myshkin, l'idiota del titolo, fa visita al suo lontano parente, il generale Yepanchin, e inizia ad ammaliare il generale, sua moglie e le sue tre figlie. Ma la sua vita viene sconvolta quando si imbatte in una fotografia della bella Nastasya Filippovna. Completamente infatuato di lei, si ritrova presto coinvolto in un triangolo amoroso e trascinato in una rete di ricatti, tradimenti e, infine, omicidi. Ispirato da un'immagine della sofferenza di Cristo, Dostoevskij cercò di ritrarre nel Principe Myshkin la purezza di un'"anima veramente bella" ed esplorare i pericoli che l'innocenza e la bontà affrontano in un mondo corrotto. La nuova traduzione di David McDuff cattura brillantemente il linguaggio idiosincratico e onirico del romanzo e il flusso nervoso ed ellittico della narrazione. Questa edizione contiene anche una nuova introduzione di William Mills Todd III, che è un'affascinante analisi delle pressioni su Dostoevskij mentre scriveva la storia del suo eroe simile a Cristo. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevskij (1821-1881) nacque a Mosca. Dal 1849 al 1854 visse in un carcere forzato e negli ultimi anni la sua passione per il gioco d'azzardo lo portò a indebitarsi profondamente. Le sue altre opere disponibili in Penguin Classics includono Delitto e castigo, L'idiota e Demoni. Se ti è piaciuto L'idiota, potresti apprezzare Anche Ward No. 6 e altri racconti di Anton Chekhov, disponibili anche in Penguin Classics. "Il linguaggio di McDuff è ricco e vivo" The New York Times Book Review "[La narrazione di L'idiota] è così avvincente" Rowan Williams, arcivescovo di Canterbury.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Idiot is an immaculate portrait of innocence tainted by the brutal reality of human greed. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Russian by David McDuff, with an introduction by William Mills Todd III.
Returning to St Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naïve epileptic Prince Myshkin - the titular 'idiot' - pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General, his wife, and his three daughters. But his life is thrown into turmoil when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated with her, he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and finally, murder. Inspired by an image of Christ's suffering Dostoyevsky sought to portray in Prince Myshkin the purity of a 'truly beautiful soul' and explore the perils that innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world.
