In a particular social stratum, individuals of a certain type are encountered quite frequently. These are individuals well-acquainted with everyone’s affairs—knowing where a person works, their salary, social connections, marital details, financial aspects of their spouse, familial relations up to second cousins, and so forth. Typically, these individuals manage to subsist on a modest annual income of around a hundred pounds. Their entire focus revolves around gathering and organizing this type of information, elevating it, or rather reducing it, to the status of a science.
As the conversation progressed, the young man with black hair displayed growing impatience. His gaze wandered out the window, he fidgeted restlessly, and it became apparent that he eagerly anticipated the conclusion of the journey. His mind seemed preoccupied, vacillating between moments of apparent attention and bouts of laughter, often without clear comprehension of the source of amusement.

Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man in his late twenties with fair hair, arrives in St. Petersburg on a November morning. Descended from one of the oldest Russian noble lines, he spent the last four years in a Swiss clinic for the treatment of his “idiocy” and epilepsy.
In St. Petersburg, Myshkin’s only relative is the distant Lizaveta Prokofyevna Yepanchin. Married to General Yepanchin, a wealthy and respected man in his late fifties, Madame Yepanchin introduces the prince to her family, which includes three daughters: Alexandra, Adelaida, and the youngest and most beautiful, Aglaya.
General Yepanchin’s ambitious and vain assistant, Gavril Ardalyonovich Ivolgin (nicknamed Ganya), is also part of the household. Ganya, secretly in love with Aglaya, is entangled in attempting to marry Anastassya Filippovna Barashkov, a stunning “fatal woman” once the mistress of aristocrat Totsky. Totsky has promised Ganya 75,000 rubles if he marries the “fallen” Nastassya Filippovna, a topic openly discussed in front of the innocent and naive Myshkin.
Choosing to stay in the Ivolgin apartment, the prince rents a room shared with Ganya, his sister Varya, his mother Nina Alexandrovna, teenage brother Nikolai (Kolya), his father General Ivolgin, and another lodger named Ferdyshchenko.
