- The Idiot (Part 1) by Fyodor DOSTOYEVSKY (1821 - 1881), translated by Eva M. MARTIN -- Unabridged audiobook - FAB
The extraordinary child-adult Prince Myshkin, confined for several years in a Swiss sanatorium suffering from severe epilepsy, returns to Russia to claim his inheritance and to find a place in healthy human society. The teeming St Petersburg community he enters is far from receptive to an innocent like himself, despite some early successes and relentless pursuit by grotesque fortune-hunters. His naive gaucheries give rise to extreme reactions among his new acquaintance, ranging from anguished protectiveness to mockery and contempt. But even before reaching the city, during the memorable train journey that opens the novel, he has encountered the demonic Rogozhin, the son of a wealthy merchant who is in thrall to the equally doomed Natasha Filippovna: beautiful, capricious and destructively neurotic, she joins with the two weirdly contrasted men in a spiralling dance of death...

I read this book in1966-67 when I was in the Marine Corps preparing to go to Vietnam. I had made a discovery about myself, that I wasn't as stupid as I thought I was.
The library at Camp Lejeune had these classics, big thick books on the fiction shelves. This was the first one I grabbed. I read it all the way through without much difficulty. I proved the point that I was wanting to make... I wasn't stupid at all but it was hard to know what value there was in that discovery.
It's fifty four years later and I've listened to the first five chapters. I fell asleep in the middle of the first chapter, incorporated the listening into a dream and woke up to hear the end of chapter five where Myshkin suggests that someone make a painting of the face of a man about to be executed. Extraordinary!
UA-cam has been so useful and discovering that there are audio books available... What a thing!
Thank you so much for this. This is my first encounter with Dostoyevsky, and I loved it.
try "crime and punishment". My favorite book.
Martin has a voice which is pleasurable to me to listen
Valuable reading it is for young adolescents who are trashed on social media, being called idiots or other idioms as they are misunderstood, then wanting to end their young lives for losing their own esteem and respect. This may help them to seek the truth about their character before it is too late. Great reading and novel.
By far. But the West has banned this in schools. They allow Trans people to educate children now.
Clown world.
In trying to follow along with my book I realized early in that this audiobook is not what I own. But I’m really sad but enjoying the audiobook book so I’m thinking I shall continue you with this audiobook. ✌🏻🤠
