Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Brothers Karamazov

"The Brothers Karamazov" (1879-1880), the last, most voluminous and one of the most famous novels by F. M. Dostoevsky, turns the reader to timeless moral and philosophical questions about sin, retribution, compassion and mercy. The book, which the writer himself defined as "a novel about blasphemy and its refutation," was an attempt to "solve the question of man," "unravel the mystery" of man, which, according to Dostoevsky, meant "solving the question of God." Through the prism of an almost detective story about the brutal murder of the head of the provincial Karamazov family, the author tells about the eternal struggle between the Divine and the devil in the human soul. One of the most profound experiences in world literature of reflecting Christian consciousness, The Brothers Karamazov became the object of paradoxical philosophical and psychoanalytic interpretations in the 20th century.
