The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0

Rarely do books touch the soul, but with Dostoyevsky it’s to be expected.

I can’t remember the last time I read a book that weighed on me so heavily as this one. I don’t even know what to write as a review. The Prince’s character is undoubtedly the purest, most beautiful soul you’ll ever read about, and to see him navigate 19th Century Russian society was as enriching as it was crushing. The end left me with a sad feeling that’s going to take a while to fade, but the imprint of this reading experience will remain with me till my last breath.

5/5
