The Brothers Karamazov (FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY)

The Brothers Karamazov is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s final and greatest novel—a profound exploration of faith, free will, morality, and the human condition. Set in 19th-century Russia, the story follows the lives of the troubled Karamazov family: the sensual and impulsive Dmitri, the intellectual skeptic Ivan, the spiritual and compassionate Alyosha, and their debauched father, Fyodor Pavlovich.

When their father is murdered, suspicion falls on Dmitri, but the deeper mystery lies in the philosophical and psychological struggles each brother faces. Through courtroom drama, spiritual quests, and intense personal conflicts, Dostoevsky weaves a narrative that examines the existence of God, the nature of evil, and the clash between reason and faith.

Epic in scope and deeply human at its core, The Brothers Karamazov is both a murder mystery and a spiritual odyssey. It stands as one of the most influential novels ever written, a cornerstone of world literature that continues to challenge and inspire readers with its intellectual power and emotional depth.
