Three brothers and their relations in 19th century Russia provide
the base for a sweeping epic of human striving, folly and hope.
First published in 1880, The Brothers Karamazov is a landmark work
in every respect. Revolving around shiftless father Fyodor
Pavlovich Karamazov are the fates of his three sons, each of whom
has fortunes entwined with the others. The eldest son, Dimitri,
seeks an inheritance from his father and becomes his rival in love.
Ivan, the second son, is so at odds with the world that he is
driven near to madness, while the youngest, Alexi, is a man of
faith and a natural optimist. These personalities are drawn out and
tested in a crucible of conflict and emotion as the author forces
upon them fundamental questions of morality, faith, reason and
responsibility. This charged situation is pushed to its limit by
the addition of the unthinkable, murder and possible patricide.
Using shifting viewpoints and delving into the minds of his
characters, Dostoevsky adopted fresh techniques to tell his
wide-reaching story with power and startling effectiveness. The
Brothers Karamazov remains one of the most respected and celebrated
novels in all literature and continues to reward readers beyond
expectation. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Brothers Karamazov is both
modern and readable.
