The Brothers Karamazov
By Fyodor Dostoevsky
Translated From The Russian by Constance Garnett
Published by William Heinemann Ltd: London 1945

" The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a profound philosophical and psychological novel centered around the tumultuous lives of the Karamazov family—Fyodor, a debauched and selfish patriarch, and his three sons: Dmitri, the passionate and impulsive soldier; Ivan, the intellectual and skeptical writer; and Alyosha, the gentle and spiritual novice monk. The central conflict arises when the father is murdered, and Dmitri, who has openly quarreled with him over money and romantic entanglements, becomes the prime suspect. This crime sets off a complex investigation and courtroom drama that explores themes of justice, faith, guilt, and free will.

Beyond the murder mystery, Dostoevsky uses the Karamazov brothers to represent different facets of the human soul and to engage in deep philosophical debates about God, morality, and the meaning of suffering. Ivan's famous "Grand Inquisitor" parable questions the compatibility of divine love with human freedom, while Alyosha's faith and compassion offer a counterpoint rooted in spiritual redemption. Through their personal journeys and confrontations, the novel delves into existential questions that remain relevant today, making it not just a story about a family tragedy, but a sweeping exploration of the human condition."
