About this ebook

 "Idiot" is the fifth novel by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The novel was first published in the journal "Russian Herald" from January 1868 to February 1869. It is one of the most beloved works of the writer who most fully expressed both the moral and philosophical position of Dostoevsky and his artistic principles in the 1860s. The novel "Idiot" became a realization of the old creative ideas of Dostoevsky, his main character - Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, according to the author's judgment, is "a truly wonderful personality", he is the embodiment of goodness and Christian morality. And precisely because of his disinterestedness, kindness and honesty, the extraordinary love for people in the world of money and hypocrisy, the environs call Myshkin an "idiot". Pretty illustrations by Nataliia Borisova provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

While the story is fine, the punctuation marks and formatting of this particular version are quite distracting and sometimes even change the meaning of some bits. Quotation marks are often inverted and are altogether inconsistent (often backwards, sometimes above text and sometimes below, and occasionally on the wrong side of the comma or period). Periods and commas are switched here and there. There's no distinction between dashes/hyphens and em dashes (long dashes); everything is just a regular short dash/hyphen. They might seem like small things, but each of these is in constant use. Save yourself the headache and spend the extra $3 to read it properly.
