{{quote|''For a long time now I’ve been tormented by a certain idea, but I’ve been afraid to make a novel out of it, because the thought is too difficult, and I’m not ready for it, though it’s thoroughly tempting thought and I love it. The idea is -- ''to portray a perfectly beautiful man''. Nothing, in my opinion, can be more difficult than that, especially in our time.''|'''Fyodor Dostoevsky''', in a letter to Apollon Maikov, January 12, 1868}}
''[[The Idiot]]'' (''Идиот'') is a novel by [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]], originally published serially between 1868 and 1869.
Prince Lev [[Patronymic|Nikolaevich]] Myshkin returns to [[St Petersburg]] after a several-year stay at a Swiss sanatorium. He had received treatment for epilepsy and supposed mental deficiencies, and now that his treatments are at an end, he’s eager to “be with people” again.
