Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, whose innocence and kindness are often mistaken for foolishness by those around him. After returning to Russia from treatment for epilepsy, he navigates complex relationships with Nastasya Filippovna, who is torn between him and the passionate Rogozhin, and Aglaya, who both mocks and captivates him. As Myshkin becomes embroiled in their emotional turmoil, he faces societal expectations and the challenges of his pure-hearted nature in a world that values cunning and sophistication.
