The Idiot a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was first published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger in 1868-9. The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince Lyov Nikolaevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness and open-hearted simplicity lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky set himself the task of depicting the positively good and beautiful man. The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. The result, according to philosopher A.C. Grayling, is one of the most excoriating, compelling and remarkable books ever written; and without question one of the greatest.

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 in relation to a woman-the dazzling society beauty Nastassya Filippovna-with whom he is obsessed. Rogozhin has just inherited a very large fortune from his dead father and he intends to use it to pursue the object of his desire. Joining in their conversation is a civil servant named Lebedyev - an omniscient gentleman with a profound knowledge of social trivia and gossip. Realizing who Rogozhin is, he firmly attaches himself to him.

The Idiot By Fyodor Dostoyevsky Translated by Eva Martin

The title of this novel is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince (Knyaz) Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness and open-hearted simplicity lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight.

The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved.

La partie d'échecs pour sauver les futurs se poursuit. Les pions continuent de verser leur sang... tout comme ceux qui les positionnent sur le plateau. Et même lorsque l'on connaît les avenirs possibles comme Griff, il n'y a souvent que de mauvais choix. Surtout lorsque, dotées d'un libre arbitre, ses pièces mettent la survie de tout le monde en péril.

Le Moine emmène Griff dans une ville miteuse située au centre de la Godéranie. Officiellement, il y cherche des alliés pour forger une coalition capable d'abattre l'Husdamore; officieusement, il conduit Griff tout droit dans un guet-apens orchestré par la Déesse.

De son côté, bloqué sur Terre en compagnie des Humains qu'il a sauvés in extremis, Kayeff prépare sa vengeance. Mais avant de retourner sur Godéranie, il part en quête d'un lieu sûr pour ses protégés: les milices de l'Husdamore sillonnent la Terre afin d'exterminer les derniers survivants. En parallèle, Kayeff cherche le soutien de ses parents adoptifs dans sa croisade future.

Pendant ce temps, Gavannha suit les instructions du mystérieux allié de Déia, qui lui a promis de le réunir avec son fils en échange de certains services. Gavannha devient le garde du corps d'un groupe d'Humains qui a déjà eu maille à partir avec les séides de l'Husdamore. Néanmoins, les intentions de cet inconnu restent pour le moins opaques. Et surtout, pourquoi lui demande-t-il de s'occuper d'un enfant à moitié humain et à moitié godéranien ?

This study offers a new overview of Port-Royal during the Grand Siecle. An astonishing interdisciplinary approach makes it possible to present the mental universe of the community by looking at its literary and material environment: the architecture, landscape, decor, clothing and music, images and writings.

Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women-the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia-both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin's honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him.

Towards the end of November, during a thaw, at nine o'clock one morning, a train on the Warsaw and Petersburg railway was approaching the latter city at full speed. The morning was so damp and misty that it was only with great difficulty that the day succeeded in breaking; and it was impossible to distinguish anything more than a few yards away from the carriage windows. Some of the passengers by this particular train were returning from abroad; but the third-class carriages were the best filled, chiefly with insignificant persons of various occupations and degrees, picked up at the different stations nearer town. All of them seemed weary, and most of them had sleepy eyes and a shivering expression, while their complexions generally appeared to have taken on the colour of the fog outside. When day dawned, two passengers in one of the third-class carriages found themselves opposite each other. Both were young fellows, both were rather poorly dressed, both had remarkable faces, and both were evidently anxious to start a conversation. If they had but known why, at this particular moment, they were both remarkable persons, they would undoubtedly have wondered at the strange chance which had set them down opposite to one another in a third-class carriage of the Warsaw Railway Company.
