Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov is unquestionably one of
the greatest works of world literature. With its dramatic portrayal
of a Russian family in crisis and its intense investigation into
the essential questions of human existence, the novel has had a
major impact on writers and thinkers across a broad range of
disciplines, from psychology to religious and political philosophy.
This proposed reader's guide has two major goals: to help the
reader understand the place of Dostoevsky's novel in Russian and
world literature, and to illuminate the writer's compelling and
complex artistic vision. The plot of the novel centers on the
murder of the patriarch of the Karamazov family and the subsequent
attempt to discover which of the brothers bears responsibility for
the murder, but Dostoevsky's ultimate interests are far more
thought-provoking. Haunted by the question of God's existence,
Dostoevsky uses the character of Ivan Karamazov to ask what kind of
God would create a world in which innocent children have to suffer,
and he hoped that his entire novel would provide the answer. The
design of Dostoevsky's work, in which one character poses questions
that other characters must try to answer, provides a stimulating
basis for reader engagement. Having taught university courses on
Dostoevsky's work for over twenty years, Julian W. Connolly draws
upon modern and traditional approaches to the novel to produce a
reader's guide that stimulate the reader's interest and provides a
springboard for further reflection and study.
