Overview

Winner of the Pen/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize

The Brothers Karamasov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the "wicked and sentimental" Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons--the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal
inventiveness of Dostoevsky's prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel.

  • One of the greatest works by one of Russia's greatest writers

    Eduardo R. - 4 years ago

    The Brothers Karamazov tells the story of Dimitri, Ivan and Alyosha, three brothers who deal with the aftermath of the murder of their father. Going into the psychology of each of the brothers and how they deal with life and death, Dostoevsky was able to highlight a lot of Russia's social issues at the time. On par with any of Tolstoy's works, The Brothers Karamazov carefully exposes the pretense of Russian nobility through the childish antics and behaviors of the characters in the book. Filled with depth and rich with philosophical inquiry, The Brothers Karamazov stands as one of Russia's finest works of literature.
