Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's 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 twenty-six-year-old 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 merchant's 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

Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man in his mid-twenties and a descendant of one of the oldest Russian lines of nobility, is on a train to Saint Petersburg on a cold November morning. He is returning to Russia having spent the past four years in a Swiss clinic for treatment of a severe epileptic condition. On the journey, Myshkin meets a young man of the merchant class, Parfyon Semyonovich Rogozhin, and is struck by his passionate intensity, particularly about a woman--the dazzling society beauty Nastassya Filippovna--with whom he is obsessed. Le prince Mychkine est un �tre fondamentalement bon, mais sa bont� confine � la na�vet� et � l'idiotie, m�me s'il est capable d'analyses psychologiques tr�s fines. Apr�s avoir pass� sa jeunesse en Suisse dans un sanatorium pour soigner son �pilepsie, il retourne en Russie pour p�n�trer les cercles ferm�s de la soci�t� russe, sans sou ni attache, mais avec son titre de noblesse et un certificat de recommandation en poche.

In The Idiot, the saintly Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon becomes entangled in a love triangle with a notorious kept woman, Nastasya, and a beautiful young girl, Aglaya. Extortion and scandal escalate to murder, as Dostoevsky’s “positively beautiful man” clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his innocence and moral idealism. The Idiot is both a powerful indictment of that society and a rich and gripping masterpiece. From award-winning translators, a masterful new translation–never before published–of the novel in which Fyodor Dostoevsky set out to portray a truly beautiful soul.

An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre constantly interacted with changing social, political and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach’s masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of the English regions, and of Wales and Scotland. Highly illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props. Continuing on from the Enlightenment, Volume Two of An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance leads its readers from the drama and performances of the Industrial Revolution to the latest digital theatre. Moving from Punch and Judy, castle spectres and penny showmen to Modernism and Postdramatic Theatre, Leach’s second volume triumphantly completes a collated account of all the British Theatre History knowledge anyone could ever need.

Nineteenth-century Russian writer and philosopher Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel The Idiot (1868) concerns a Russian prince, Myshkin, who returns to Russia after a stint in a sanitarium and becomes entangled in a love triangle with two women, Nastasya and Aglaia. While Myshkin is good-natured to a fault, the competitive and insensitive impulses of those around him triumph over his aspirations. He loses both of his lovers to Rogozhin, a corrupt and wealthy man. The novel is known for its depth of characterization and ambivalent outlook on the moral systems and categories that operate in modern life.The novel begins on a morning in November in St. Petersburg, Russia, when Prince Myshkin returns from a Swiss sanatorium, ostensibly for treatment for epilepsy and "idiocy." Myshkin, now in his late twenties, descends from one of the first Russian lines of nobility. The only person he knows in the city is Lizaveta Prokofyevna Yepanchin, a distant relation and the wife of a wealthy and esteemed general. The prince visits them and meets their three daughters, Aglaya, Adelaida, and Alexandra. Aglaya is noted to be the youngest and prettiest.Soon, Myshkin meets General Yepanchin's assistant, Gavril Ardalyonovich Ivolgin ("Ganya"). Ganya is in love with Aglaya but is trying to wed another beautiful woman, Anastassya Barashkov. At the same time, her past husband, Totsky, has offered him 75,000 rubles to marry a different woman, Nastassya Filippovna. Knowing that Ganya is extremely naive and pacifistic, Myshkin openly talks about the proposed marriage in front of him. Not long after, the prince rents out a room in Ganya's apartment, which is also lived in by Ganya's sister Varya, his mother Nina, brother Kolya, father, General Ivolgin, and another man, Ferdyshchenko.Nastassya appears at the apartment and insults Ganya's family because they have declined to accept her as a candidate for Ganya's wife. Myshkin stops her. Soon they are interrupted by a crowd of drunks led by Parfyon Semyonovich, who is in love with Nastassya. Rogozhin offers to bring 100,000 rubles to the birthday party of Nastassya that evening where she will announce whether or not she is marrying Ganya. At the party, Nastassya listens to Ganya's advice and declines the proposal. Despite Rogozhin's offer, Myshkin offers his hand in marriage to Nastassya, revealing that he has recently learned of a large inheritance. Nastassya deems herself unworthy, leaving with Rogozhin instead.Myshkin follows Nastassya as she goes back and forth between Rogozhin and himself. Myshkin's wealth is not very large after all, and quickly dwindles. Myshkin visits Rogozhin's house and witnesses how dark and sad it is; they talk about their religious beliefs and give each other crosses. That same day, Rogozhin tries to kill Myshkin in the hallway of his hotel, but Myshkin suddenly has a bout of epilepsy. A few days later, Myshkin goes to a nearby summer town called Pavlovsk, renting a room from Lebedev. Most of the other characters join in the city.A young man comes to the prince and says he is Burdovsky, the son of Myshkin's former benefactor. He demands cash in exchange for the benefactor's previous support. Though he is clearly an impostor, Myshkin still helps him out. He continues to spend time at the Yepanchins', where people gradually realize that he is in love with Aglaya, a sentiment that she reciprocates. She refuses to admit her love, however, and openly makes fun of him. Aglaya's family still treats him like her future husband. At a dinner party with some of the Russian elite, Myshkin accidentally breaks a Chinese vase. He also has an epileptic fit. These events cause the guests to believe that he is not a good fit for Aglaya. Still, Aglaya persists, and meets with Nastassya, who has been encouraging her to marry him. Myshkin attends, but hesitates in choosing Aglaya over Nastassya......

This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes as in his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tender and romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-century morality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from the Underground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromising cynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The Honest Thief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.
