The Idiot
Episode description
In which I & fellow Dostoevsky enthusiast Yesim talk about The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Fair warning! We tried not to spoil the book, but we epically failed at that. So if you want to avoid spoilers, read the book before listening!! We chat about...
- beauty
- suffering
- is Prince Myshkin really a human?? is he a Christ figure? we have lots of questions about him...
- death
- etc. etc. etc.
Basically, this episode is us fan-girling over Dostoevsky in general and Prince Myshkin in particular. 10/10 a grand time.
Beneath The Willow Tree is a podcast dedicated to the pursuit of Truth through wisdom and imagination. Join host Sophie Burkhardt as she, fuelled by wonder and a quest for the beautiful, explores philosophy, theology, the arts and all things worthy of thought beneath the willow tree.
