Description

An Apple Books Classic edition. <br> A towering achievement of psychological depth and spiritual inquiry, The Brothers Karamazov blends passionate philosophy into a riveting story of family conflict, erotic jealousy, betrayal, and murder. <br> Cruel, self-indulgent Fyodor Karamazov has never acted like a father to his sons, brilliant skeptic Ivan, impulsive and romantic Dmitri, and kindhearted novice Alyosha. They’ve grown into three men as different as one could imagine, but Fyodor remains heartless as ever, taking joy in his own callous conduct and sadistic games. <br> As Fyodor mires himself in financial misdeeds and a devious love triangle, author Fyodor Dostoevsky probes timeless questions of justice, faith, and responsibility, asking what a father owes his sons and what a society owes its people. Ferocious and unforgettable, The Brothers Karamazov remains one of literature’s most profound explorations of the moral soul.

    The main complaint I saw about this book was that the philosophical sections were long and tedious but I could not get enough of them. Amazing. Ivan’s chat with the devil got me the closest I’ve ever been to an existential crisis.

    A true masterpiece of literature that plumbs the depths of the human soul, from relentless greed and debauchery to the joy of faith, hope and love.

    It is daunting to open the book up for the first time - the page count jumps at you, but the storytelling is so masterful that you are lost in the world of the 3 protagonists.
  • Karamazov Passion

    I have an intense, unironic love for this novel that rivals the famous Karamazov passion. The characters are compelling, Dostoevsky is the best, and the questions you find yourself asking whilst reading this are helpful in defining the human experience. Everyone should read this!!
  • This is the only book you ever really need to read
