It follows Prince Myshkin, a young nobleman whose Christian goodness and innocence lead worldly society to mistake him for simple-minded. Dostoevsky sets his "positively good and beautiful man" against the passions, desires, and egoism of contemporary Russian life, testing whether true Christian love can survive in a corrupt world. The result is a deeply personal work exploring profound moral and spiritual questions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2638 ER -
