The Brothers Karamazov

A drama of parricide and intense family rivalry, The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoyevsky's acknowledged masterpiece. It tells the story of the murder of a depraved landowner, Fyodor Karamazov, and the ensuing investigation, concentrating on his three sons: Mitya, Ivan, and Alyosha. Ivan is a revolutionary intellectual, while the novice Alyosha is the novel's 'hero'. It is Mitya's passion for two women that contributes to disaster, and he who inwardly accepts the guilt of his father's murderer. In unfolding the fates of the Karamazovs, Dostoyevsky creates a tragedy of Shakespearian force that embodies the disintegration of a whole society, Russia in the 1870s.
