Description

A murder in a provincial town becomes a trial of faith itself.

When Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is killed, suspicion falls on his eldest son Dmitri. Yet beneath the evidence lies a deeper conflict between three brothers whose beliefs could not be more opposed.

Ivan wrestles with doubt. Alyosha seeks spiritual truth. Rivalries sharpen, loyalties fracture and hidden resentments surface. As the courtroom drama unfolds, the question of guilt extends beyond fact into conscience.

The verdict may be delivered in court, but the true judgement belongs to the soul.

Publisher Review

In this new translation one finally gets the musical whole of Dostoevsky's original * New York Times Book Review * It returns us to a work we thought we knew - made new again * Washington Post * No reader who knows The Brothers Karamazov should ignore this magnificent translation. And no reader who doesn't should wait any longer to acquaint himself with one of the peaks of modern fiction * USA Today * Donne, Herbert, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Dostoevsky, Henry James - these are the great psychologists - far greater than Freud or Klein or Jung -- Sally Vickers Dostoevsky makes Martin Amis seem as if he was writing 130 years ago and that Dostoevsky is writing now. Read all of Dostoevsky. These books are for now and they matter, because it's up to us to call a halt to our TV producers, politicians, gutless artists, poets and writers: these "teenagers of all ages" who are propelling us towards a consumerist hell of disposability over quality -- Billy Childish
