Idiot

The novel "the Idiot" (1868) was conceived and written by Dostoevsky in Switzerland, the birthplace of the great educator, Rousseau, and therefore it is appropriate to recall and his contemporary Voltaire, the author of "Simple-minded", a book that became one of the first attempts to show the "perfect man" in this imperfect world. "The main idea... — Dostoevsky wrote of his novel, is to portray a positively beautiful man. This is nothing harder in the world..."
Whether Dostoevsky showed the world the "Prince of Christ", lest we forget: "Compassion is the main and maybe the only law of existence of all mankind."
