A review by patriciadeoliveira
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

The book is interesting and has an engaging story. As every Russian, Dostoyevsky mixture theories and themes of Russian religious thought with evocative scenes and memorable dialogues. And obviously the theme of nihilism is present.
We all hope for an interesting crime, narrated in a special way and that would affect the whole story, but, in the book the crime is only the outcome - even if it is narrated ina way that only Dostoevsky could do it.It is a very delightful novel, and we can see a different Dostoyevsky.
