Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonskys masterful translation of The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English.After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twentysixyearold Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and be among people. Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchants son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg, the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this positively beautiful man on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.Everymans Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acidfree creamcolored paper, with fullcloth cases with twocolor foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, Europeanstyle halfround spines, and a fullcolor illustrated jacket. Everymans Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the authors life and times.

This Everyman's Library edition of The Idiot is nice, but I expected the print to be a bit larger. It's still a solid read and looks great on my shelf, just wish it was easier on the eyes during late-night reading sessions.

Impressive Binding and Design
I bought The Idiot for my book club, and everyone was impressed by the binding and overall design. The cover has a classic feel, and it makes discussing Dostoevsky's ideas so much more enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

A Great Collection of Classics
I picked up The Idiot from the Everyman's Library series, and it’s such a beautiful edition. The hardback is sturdy, and the pages feel really high-quality. I love diving into Dostoevsky's world with this lovely book in my hands!
