In this classic work, the crime becomes a pretext for Dostoevsky to unearth all that is good and bad, virtuous and dishonest, magnanimous and petty hidden within the vast kingdom of our inner world, which he illuminates abundantly, allowing the reader to explore it from one end to the other without the need for a guide.

And in "The Idiot," as in all the works of the great author, the internal harmony is pervasive and effortlessly draws the reader into the dance of moral values, higher or lower, compelling them throughout the work to see the antithesis of their false social self and to be constantly within the circuit of self-criticism and self-control.
