Seller Description
Cool paperback edition translated by Constance Garnett. Dell Publishing 1962 first printing. See photos for condition. Overall good, some general wear and a minor tears and bending on some corner pages. Previous owner’s name written on first page, otherwise no annotations or markings. Secure binding. Foxing of pages. DESCRIPTION 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 women the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin 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 Garnett s drastic anglicization of the novel, restoring as much as possible the syntactical structure of the original."
