Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two womenâ€”the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaiaâ€”both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkinâ€™s honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him. In her revision of the Garnett translation, Anna Brailovsky has corrected inaccuracies wrought by Garnettâ€™s drastic anglicization of the novel, restoring as much as possible the syntactical structure of the original story.
