白痴(The Idiot)简介：: Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky’s masterful translation of The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English.

After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and “be among people.” Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant’s son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this “positively beautiful man” on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature. 　　《白痴》是陀思妥耶夫斯基重返文坛后的第三部长篇小说，写于一八六七年秋至一八六九年一月。它揭露了资本主义残暴不仁，显示出作者高度的艺术才华。
　　俄国在废除农奴制以后走什么道路的问题，是六、七十年代社会政治思想斗争的焦点。陀思妥耶夫斯基在俄国社会思想斗争中采取了独特的立场，始终坚持反映现实的着眼点和独特的艺术风格。他主要从道德心理的角度观察和表现资产阶级社会关系的发展和旧的社会关系的解体，以及这一历史过程对城市各个阶层居民的生活命运和精神状态的影响，从而提出了废除农奴制以后俄国社会发展中出现的根本问题，表现了资本主义发展引起的时代基本特征。《白痴》体现了作家六、七十年创作总的倾向。小说涉及到彼得堡各个社会阶层，构成了整个社会的横断面。小说情节进展只有几个月的时间，但陀思妥耶夫斯基却得以描绘出就其社会地位、精神状态和生活命运来说各不相同的、五光十色的人物画廊。故事发生的地点基本上局限于彼得堡及其郊区巴甫洛夫斯克，但作家都运用各种手段扩大了描写范围，不仅讲到莫斯科和外省，而且涉及到法国、瑞士和波兰，为主人公的活动提供了广阔的社会背景，概括了全俄国乃至西欧的历史发展。
