The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

When Prince Muishkin returns to Russia after years abroad, his innocence and openhearted kindness mark him as an outsider in a society ruled by ego, wealth, and desire. Drawn into a tangle of romantic rivalry, inheritance disputes, and social intrigue, Myshkin’s presence—so pure, so honest—begins to unravel the people around him.

Is goodness possible in a corrupt world, or will purity itself become its own undoing?
