paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. New York. 1980. Signet/New American Library. Reprinted Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0451517997. A New Translation by Henry and Olga Carlisle. With an introduction by Harold Rosenberg. 640 pages. paperback. CE1799. Cover art: James Hill. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'The chief thing is that they all need him' - thus Dostoyevsky described Prince Vyshkin, the hero of perhaps his most remarkable novel- As the still, radiant center of a plot whose turbulent action is extraordinary even for Dostoyevsky, Myshkin succeeds in dominating through sheer force of personality a cast of characters who vividly and violently embody the passions and conflicts of 19th-century Russia. The author's concern with sin and redemption is here in full measure; but there is another, more powerful motive as well: a desire to offer man a new alternative in facing the painful dilemmas of the human condition- As Harold Rosenberg writes in his Introduction to this notabbe new translation: 'Myshkin has passed from literature into social history. He is a rival of those potent fictionsthe Dandy, the Superman, The Proletariat . . He, too, is 'a specter haunting Europe.' He is the original of those who seek to persuade through self-renunciation, from the who 'understands' his mistress' infidelities to Children of the 1960s convinced of the perfidiousness of the adult mind.' inventory #38769.
