Product Details
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky's powerful meditation on faith, meaning and morality, The Brothers Karamazov is translated with an introduction and notes by David McDuff in Penguin Classics. When brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov is murdered, the lives of his sons are changed irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, whose mental tortures drive him to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother Smerdyakov. As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky's dark masterpiece evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested. This powerful translation of The Brothers Karamazov features and introduction highlighting Dostoyevsky's recurrent themes of guilt and salvation, with a new chronology and further reading. There is no writer who better demonstrates the contradictions and fluctuations of the creative mind than Dostoyevsky, and nowhere more astonishingly than in The Brothers Karamazov.--Joyce Carol Oates Dostoyevsky was the only psychologist from whom I had anything to learn: he belongs to the happiest windfalls of my life.--Friedrich Nietzsche The most magnificent novel ever written.--Sigmund Freud

Fyodor Dostoyevsky Classic Novels Editorial Review
"The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a celebrated and highly regarded work of literature. It can be read as a psychological thriller, family drama, and murder mystery, with enough twists to satisfy fans of the genre. However, its true essence goes beyond these surface plots. The novel delves into deep philosophical and religious themes, raising questions about the nature of God and the problem of evil. Dostoyevsky's ability to weave these themes into the plot and characters is reminiscent of the style of Ayn Rand, whom he greatly influenced. While some readers may find the religious-themed passages preachy and the chapter on Zossima's teachings a slog, the focus on the complex relationships between the brothers and their odious father is riveting. The characters are realistic and known to the author inside out, eliciting awe from readers. Trusting Dostoyevsky's portrayal of human agony, the novel immerses readers in the depths of human emotion. The translation by Princess Alexandra Kropotkin is praised for its quality, and the 1949 red-and-gold edition is Considered a treasure by some readers. The narrative is not dry, and the ironic and often funny tone adds an unexpected element to the story. Overall, "The Brothers Karamazov" lives up to its reputation as one of the great works of literature that everyone should be acquainted with. It is an engrossing story that tackles deep and important subjects, making it well worth the read and even a reread.
