In a third-class carriage, two young men face each other and quickly fall into conversation, revealing contrasting appearances, temperaments, and backgrounds. One has returned from abroad after being sent for health, describing a nervous condition with convulsive episodes; the other responds with sharp curiosity and sarcasm from the outset. Their dialogue sets a tense, psychologically charged tone for the unfolding story.","The Idiot  \nBy Fyodor Dostoyevsky  \nDownload novels  \nemail newsletter  \nliterature, books and to our free eBooks blog  \nPart I  \n􀀙 The Idiot  \nI  \nTowards the end of November, during a thaw, at nine  \no’clock one morning, a train on the Warsaw and Petersburg railway was approaching the latter city at full speed. The morning was so damp and misty that it was only with great difficulty that the day succeeded in breaking; and it was impossible to distinguish anything more than a few yards away from the carriage windows.  \nSome of the passengers by this particular train were returning from abroad; but the third-class carriages were the best filled, chiefly with insignificant persons of various occupations and degrees, picked up at the different stations nearer town. All of them seemed weary, and most of them had sleepy eyes and a shivering expression, while their complexions generally appeared to have taken on the colour of the fog outside.  \nWhen day dawned, two passengers in one of the thirdclass carriages found themselves opposite each other. Both were young fellows, both were rather poorly dressed, both had remarkable faces, and both were evidently anxious to start a conversation. If they had but known why, at this particular moment, they were both remarkable persons, they would undoubtedly have wondered at the strange chance which had set them down opposite to one another in a thirdclass carriage of the Warsaw Railway Company.  \n[Free eBooks at](Free eBooks at Planet eBook.com)[ Planet eBook.com](Free eBooks at Planet eBook.com) 􀀘  \nOne of them was a young fellow of about twenty-seven, not tall, with black curling hair, and small, grey, fiery eyes. His nose was broad and flat, and he had high cheek bones; his thin lips were constantly compressed into an impudent, ironical—it might almost be called a malicious—smile; but his forehead was high and well formed, and atoned for a good deal of the ugliness of the lower part of his face. A special feature of this physiognomy was its death-like pallor, which gave to the whole man an indescribably emaciated appearance in spite of his hard look, and at the same time a sort of passionate and suffering expression which did not harmonize with his impudent, sarcastic smile and keen, self-satisfied bearing. He wore a large fur—or rather astrachan—overcoat, which had kept him warm all night, while his neighbour had been obliged to bear the full severity of a Russian November night entirely unprepared. His wide sleeveless mantle with a large cape to it—the sort of cloak one sees upon travellers during the winter months in Switzerland or North Italy—was by no means adapted to the long cold journey through Russia, from Eydkuhnen to St. Petersburg.  \nThe wearer of this cloak was a young fellow, also of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age, slightly above the middle height, very fair, with a thin, pointed and very light coloured beard; his eyes were large and blue, and had an intent look about them, yet that heavy expression which some people affirm to be a peculiarity. as well as evidence, of an epileptic subject. His face was decidedly a pleasant one for all that; refined, but quite colourless, except for the circum-  \n􀀊 The Idiot  \nstance that at this moment it was blue with cold. He held a bundle made up of an old faded silk handkerchief that apparently contained all his travelling wardrobe, and wore thick shoes and gaiters, his whole appearance being very unRussian.  \nHis black-haired neighbour inspected these peculiarities, having nothing better to do, and at length remarked, with that rude enjoyment of the discomforts of others which the common classes so often show:  \n‘Cold?’  \n‘Very,’ said his neighbour, readily. ‘and this is a thaw, too. Fancy if it had been a hard frost! I never thought it would be so cold in the old country. I’ve grown quite out of the way of it.’  \n‘What, been abroad, I suppose?’‘Yes, straight from Switzerland.’  \n‘Wheugh! my goodness!’ The black-haired you","cbCaieZZouudfy9M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieZZouudfy9M","pdf",2863540,3,1,913,"English","en",105,"# Part I\n## Train arrival and third-class passengers\n## First conversation between the two young men\n## Illness background and travel circumstances","[{\"question\":\"What is the setting at the start of Part I?\",\"answer\":\"The story opens during a damp, misty November thaw on a train approaching the city on the Warsaw and Petersburg railway.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the fair-haired young man travel back to Russia?\",\"answer\":\"He was sent abroad for his health after suffering a nervous malady, and he returns after support from Mr. Pavlicheff ends with his death.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the black-haired passenger react to the Swiss patient’s condition?\",\"answer\":\"He laughs and responds with sarcasm, including doubts about whether the patient was cured.\"}]","The Idiot - Part I - Novel | PDF",1787696951,1406,{"code":4,"msg":32,"data":33},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":34,"title":13,"keywords":35,"description":14,"schema_data":36,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":29},"the-idiot-part-i-novel","",{"@graph":37,"@context":85},[38,53,68],{"@type":39,"itemListElement":40},"BreadcrumbList",[41,45,48,50],{"item":42,"name":43,"@type":44,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":46,"name":47,"@type":44,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":44,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":44,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-idiot-part-i-novel/143844/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":42,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-03","2026-08-25",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What is the setting at the start of Part I?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The story opens during a damp, misty November thaw on a train approaching the city on the Warsaw and Petersburg railway.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"Why does the fair-haired young man travel back to Russia?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"He was sent abroad for his health after suffering a nervous malady, and he returns after support from Mr. Pavlicheff ends with his death.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"How does the black-haired passenger react to the Swiss patient’s condition?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"He laughs and responds with sarcasm, including doubts about whether the patient was cured.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,100,104,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":47,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
