Description

Dostoevsky's masterpiece, The Karamazov Brothers, is a complex and thought-provoking novel that explores the human condition through a gripping crime story and philosophical debate. The murder of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov sets off a chain of events that exposes the dark secrets and conflicting values of his family, including his three sons - Ivan, Dmitry, and the novice Alyosha. At its heart, the novel is a deeply personal and intellectual exploration of the existence of God, human freedom, and the nature of guilt. Dostoevsky's writing is rich in comic moments, as he skewers the Russian Orthodox Church, the legal system, and his own cherished causes, revealing the complexities of orthodoxy and radicalism. This new translation brings the spoken word to life, capturing the full range of human expression. A new edition of a timeless work, this Oxford World's Classics volume offers a wealth of features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking to engage with one of literature's greatest works.
