The Brothers Karamazov
Fyodor DostoyevskyСерия книг: Classic bestseller
Описание
Three brothers, one murdered father, and a question no courtroom can settle: if God does not exist, is everything permitted?
Dmitri burns with passion and debt. Ivan builds airtight arguments against a world that allows the suffering of children. Alexey seeks grace in a monastery cell. When their dissolute father is found dead, the crime of patricide drags all three into a trial where faith, doubt, and reason stand accused alongside the defendant.
Composed largely in Staraya Russa and set against a modernizing nineteenth-century Russia, Dostoyevsky's final novel moves from tavern confessions to the Grand Inquisitor's silent Christ, weaving family scandal, courtroom drama, and moral philosophy into a single sustained argument about free will and human responsibility. Published as a serial in The Russian Messenger and completed in November 1880, it appeared four months before the author's death.
For readers of Russian classics, philosophical fiction, and psychological realism who want a novel that answers their questions with harder ones.
