The Brothers Karamazov

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoyevsky’s final and most ambitious novel. This annotated edition includes an original introduction, a detailed biography, and a cultural essay exploring the novel’s deep influence on philosophy, ethics, and cinema.

“So long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and painfully as to find someone to worship.”

A father murdered. Three brothers bound by blood, yet divided by faith, desire, and the weight of their own convictions. Dmitri, driven by passion and jealousy. Ivan, consumed by reason and doubt. Alyosha, searching for redemption in a fractured world. As they collide in a web of betrayal and destiny, one question lingers: Can a man be truly free, or is he forever bound by his own nature?

Dostoyevsky’s final novel is a staggering exploration of guilt, justice, and the eternal struggle between belief and despair. A masterpiece of philosophical depth and emotional intensity, The Brothers Karamazov stands as one of the greatest achievements in world literature.
