El idiota

Rate this book
Obra maestra universal, y la predilecta de Dostoievski, “El idiota” narra la historia del príncipe Mishkin, un hombre bondadoso e ingenuo que regresa a la sociedad rusa después de pasar varios años en un sanatorio en Suiza. A medida que se adapta a su nueva vida en San Petersburgo, se enamora de dos mujeres muy diferentes: la hermosa, pero frívola Aglaya, y la piadosa y sensible Nastasia.

A través de la interacción con estos personajes y otros miembros de la alta sociedad rusa, el protagonista se ve arrastrado a un mundo de celos, traición y locura. A pesar de sus buenas intenciones, su pureza y su honestidad son malinterpretadas y ridiculizadas, lo que termina por convertirlo en víctima de los celos y las intrigas de los demás.

Esta monumental novela examina los temas de la inocencia, la corrupción y el amor verdadero en una sociedad que valora la riqueza y el poder por sobre todo lo demás. A medida que la trama se desarrolla, Dostoievski ofrece una mirada profunda a la psicología humana y a la condición humana en general, con una escritura emotiva y conmovedora que lleva al lector a través de los altibajos de la vida de Mishkin.
