As he attempts to navigate the treacherous waters of St. Petersburg society, his innocence is tested by the dark passions of those around him. 'The Idiot' is a profound exploration of human nature and the conflict between spiritual purity and worldly vanity. Narrated with masterful sensitivity by George Baker.
