书籍简介

《白痴》系19世纪俄国大文豪陀思妥耶夫斯基的重要作品之一。小说描写19世纪60年代出身贵族的绝色女子娜斯塔霞常年受地主托茨基蹂躏，后托茨基愿出一大笔钱要把她嫁给卑鄙wu耻的加尼亚。就在女主人公的生日晚会上，被人们视为白痴的年轻的公爵梅诗金突然出现，愿无条件娶娜斯塔霞为妻，这使她深受感动。在与公爵即将举行婚礼的那天，娜斯塔霞尽管深爱着公爵，但还是跟花花公子罗果仁跑了，最后遭罗果仁杀害。小说对农奴制度改革后俄国上层社会作了广泛的描绘，涉及复杂的心理和道德问题。善良、宽容的梅诗金公爵无力对周围的人施加影响，也不能为他们造福，这个堂吉诃德式的人物的徒劳努力，表明作者企图以信仰和爱来拯救世界的幻想的破灭。

Includes pictures and an extensive section on Dostoevsky's life and works

After spending several years in a sanatorium recovering from an illness that caused him to lose his memory and ability to reason, Prince Myshkin arrives in St. Petersburg and is at once confronted with the stark realities of life in the Russian capital—from greed, murder, and nihilism to passion, vanity, and love. Mocked for his childlike naivety yet valued for his openness and understanding, Prince Myshkin finds himself entangled with two women in a position he cannot bring himself to resolve. Dostoevsky, who wrote that in the character of Prince Myshkin he hoped to portray a "wholly virtuous man," shows the workings of the human mind and our relationships with others in all their complex and contradictory nature.

作者简介

费奥多尔·米哈伊洛维奇·陀思妥耶夫斯基（1821年11月11日—1881年2月9日），俄国作家。

陀思妥耶夫斯基出生于小贵族家庭，童年在莫斯科和乡间度过。1846年发表第一部长篇小说《穷人》，受到高度评价。1848年发表中篇小说《白夜》。1849年因参加反农奴制活动而被流放到西伯利亚，在此期间发表有长篇小说《被侮辱和被损害的》《罪与罚》《白痴》《群魔》《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》等作品。

陀思妥耶夫斯基的小说戏剧性强，情节发展快，接踵而至的灾难性事件往往伴随着复杂激烈的心理斗争和痛苦的精神危机，以此揭露出资产阶级关系的纷繁复杂、矛盾重重和深刻的悲剧性。

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is considered one of the greatest writers of all time. His works include such seminal novels as Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.
