TITLE: Der Idiot

More about it

AUTHOR: Fjodor Dostojewski

DESCRIPTION: Fürst Myschkin, letzter Spross seiner Familie, kehrt nach langem Aufenthalt in einer Schweizer Heilanstalt nach Russland zurück. Schon im Zugabteil lernt er den Kaufmann Rogoschin kennen, der von seiner Leidenschaft zu Natascha Filippovna erzählt. Wenig später steht Myschkin der jungen Aglaja gegenüber. Zwei Empfindungen bestimmen von nun an sein Verhalten: Die Liebe zu Aglaja und das Mitleid mit Natascha, in der er als einziger nicht die Frau mit zweifelhaftem Ruf sieht. Der konsequente Versuch, das Prinzip Nächstenliebe zu verteidigen, stürzt Myschkin in immer heillosere Konflikte. Er wird für die Mitmenschen zum Idioten, den man erneut hinter die Mauern eines Sanatoriums sperren muss. 'Fürst Christus' nennt Dostojewskij in einer Tagebuchnotiz seinen Helden. An anderer Stelle notiert er: 'Der Hauptgedanke des Romans ist die Darstellung des im positiven Sinne schönen Menschen.'

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
