{"product_id":"the-idiot-vintage-classics","title":"The Idiot (Vintage Classics)","description":"xxii, 633 pp. After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and \"be among people.\" Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this \"positively beautiful man\" on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.","brand":"Vintage Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41024840794182,"sku":"2340959","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2340959.jpg?v=1706552915","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-idiot-vintage-classics","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
