Download and listen to one of the great works of Russian literature, The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Considered Dostoevsky's most autobiographical novel, the book centers on a naive epileptic named Prince Myshkin who is thought an "idiot" when he returns to 19th century St. Petersburg society at the age of 26 after spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Myshkin is eventually caught up in a love triangle between the femme fatale Nastassya Filippovna and the young and beautiful Aglaya, which leads to a tragic fate. The book is entirely read by volunteer narrator Martin Geeson at Librivox who sounds like a very capable reader for the book.
