Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction This is a collection of five best books by Fyodor Dostoyevsky Notes From The Underground The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed. I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past The Idiot A naive and trusting prince falls prey to the machinations of Saint Petersburg society when he falls in love with two women-one the kept mistress of a mysterious benefactor, the other the youngest daughter of a respected general As his relationships with the two women deepen, Myshkin finds himself at the mercy of the women's motives, and his inability to choose between the two has disastrous consequences Be it mystery, romance, drama, comedy, politics, or history, great literature stands the test of time.
