Fyodor Dostoyevsky`s The Idiot is an immaculate portrait of innocence tainted by the brutal reality of human greed. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Russian by David Mc Duff, with an introduction by William Mills Todd III. Returning to St Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle & naive epileptic Prince Myshkin
- the titular `idiot`
- pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin & proceeds to charm the General, his wife, & his three daughters. But his life is thrown into turmoil when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated with her, he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle & drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, & finally, murder. Inspired by an image of Christ`s suffering Dostoyevsky sought to portray in Prince Myshkin the purity of a `truly beautiful soul` & explore the perils that innocence & goodness face in a corrupt world. David Mc Duff`s new translation brilliantly captures the novel`s idiosyncratic & dream-like language & the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative. This edition also contains a new introduction by William Mills Todd III, which is a fascinating examination of the pressures on Dostoyevsky as he wrote the story of his Christ-like hero. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was born in Moscow. From 1849-54 he lived in a convict prison, & in later years his passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His other works available in Penguin Classics include Crime & Punishment, The Idiot & Demons. If you enjoyed The Idiot, you might like Anton Chekhov`s Ward No. 6 & Other Stories, also available in Penguin Classics.` Mc Duff`s language is rich & alive` The New York Times Book Review`[ The Idiot`s].. . narrative is so compelling` Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer`s ” Iliad” tells the story of the darkest episode in the Trojan War. At its centre is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, & his refusal to fight after being humiliated by his leader Agamemnon. But when the Trojan Hector kills Achilles` close friend Patroclus, he storms back into battle to take revenge
- although knowing this will ensure his own early death. Interwoven with this tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb & flow of battle, of the domestic world inside Troy`s besieged city of Ilium, & of the conflicts between the Gods on Olympus as they argue over the fate of mortals.
