«Der Idiot» is the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, published by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (887 pages, in German).
Prince Myshkin, a man of naive goodness, returns from a Swiss sanatorium to the society of St. Petersburg. His sincerity clashes with an aristocracy corrupted by money and passions; amid love intrigues, Dostoyevsky explores innocence, guilt, redemption, and the search for beauty in a hostile world.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian philosopher, novelist, short-story writer, essayist and journalist. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in both Russian and world literature, and many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. Dostoevsky's literary works explore the human condition in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), The Adolescent (1875) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His Notes from Underground, a novella published in 1864, is considered one of the first works of existentialist literature.
