Fjodor Dostojevskij: The Brothers Karamazov

Description

A True Classic. A Masterpiece. A Must-Read. One of the milestones of the written world. The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons-the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russianlife, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.
