The Brothers Karamazov: Bicentennial Edition

Synopsis

Widely regarded as Dostoevsky's masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov is at once a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and a profound philosophical novel. When the dissolute Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered, suspicion falls upon his eldest son, Dmitri, while his brothers Ivan and Alyosha are drawn into questions of justice, faith, morality, and the nature of human freedom. Through the lives of the Karamazov family, Dostoevsky explores love, guilt, belief, doubt, and the deepest contradictions of the human soul.

Both intellectually expansive and emotionally gripping, The Brothers Karamazov stands among the greatest achievements in world literature. This acclaimed translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky preserves the richness, humour, and remarkable vitality of Dostoevsky's original Russian.
