{"product_id":"the-idiot","title":"The Idiot","description":"Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction and Notes by Agnes Cardinal, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent. Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accomodate the goodness of this idiot.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Dostoevsky, Fyodor,author,Garnett, Constance,translator,Cardinal, Agnes,introduction,Carabine, Dr Ke\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Dostoevsky, Fyodor,author,Garnett, Constance,translator,Cardinal, Agnes,introduction,Carabine, Dr Keith,series_editor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 592\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Classic Edition\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 5 Dec 1996\u003cbr\u003eBic Classification: Classic fiction (pre c 1945)\u003cbr\u003ebicCode: \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Ltd Imprint: Wordsworth Editions Ltd\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Fyodor Dostoevsky\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 200x125x32 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 37x197x129 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 1050\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 420","brand":"Wordsworth Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53241415008553,"sku":"BK1853261750","price":72.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/71j_uqFid4L.jpg?v=1785598198","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-au\/products\/the-idiot","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
