Summary "Sämtliche Werke 3-4: Der Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the character Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who returns to Russia after a long absence in Switzerland. The narrative explores complex themes such as morality, society, and the nature of goodness through the interactions of Myshkin with various characters as he navigates life in St. Petersburg. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Prince as he arrives on a train to St. Petersburg amidst a cold and foggy atmosphere. En route, he engages in conversation with two other travelers, revealing his kind yet naive nature. The opening sections illustrate Myshkin’s peculiarities, including his physical appearance and social awkwardness, setting the stage for the ongoing exploration of his character and the reactions of those around him. The initial dialogues hint at Myshkin's past, his lack of wealth, and the surprising connections he has, particularly to a family of higher status, which foreshadows deeper social interactions and conflicts to come.
