Inspired by an image of Christâs suffering, Fyodor
Dostoyevsky set out to
portray "a truly
beautiful soul"
colliding with the brutal
reality of
contemporary society. Returning to St. Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naive Prince Myshkinâ"known as "the idiot"â"pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General and his circle. But after becoming infatuated with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna, Myshkin finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and, ultimately, murder..
