Escrita después de Crimen y castigo y antes de Los demonios, de nuevo en un largo período de penurias, El idiota (1868-1869) inicia el ciclo final de obras maestras de Dostoievski. Como todas ellas, ha propiciado múltiples lecturas: Hermann Hesse veía como la característica fundamental de su héroe el hecho de tener «una relación con el inconsciente más íntima y menos oscura que los demás»; Antonia S. Byatt decía recientemente que «como sus cómicos antecesores don Quijote y el señor Pickwick», la suya era una «inocencia que causaba daño». En cualquier caso, la fuerza de la novela estriba en situar a un personaje cándido, inteligente y a la vez lastrado por un déficit mental, generoso y en paz consigo mismo y con las adversidades del destino, en una sociedad no tanto frívola y volcada en lo material como desquiciada por la duda, la ansiedad y la insatisfacción.

Work Description

Inspired by an image of Christ's 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 Myshkin—known as "the idiot"—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. This new translation by David McDuff is sensitive to the shifting registers of the original Russian, capturing the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative for a new generation of readers.
