Classic & Older Gothic
by Frederick Whishaw
Prince Myshkin returns to St. Petersburg society as a Christ-like innocent whose radical honesty and compassion collide catastrophically with a world of seduction, rivalry, and corrupted idealism. Dostoyevsky orchestrates a tragedy of goodness destroyed by the very beauty and passion it seeks to redeem. A towering exploration of how purity cannot survive in a fallen world.
