The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov follows Fyodor, a drunken womanizer; and his three sons, Dmitri, who intensely hates his father; Ivan, who questions faith and free will; and the deeply religious Alyosha, who becomes embroiled in the family's dysfunction. The story culminates around Fyodor's murder. More than just a murder mystery, this novel explores the existence of God. The Brother's Karamazov was Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel, taking him two years to complete.
