The award-winning translation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic novel of psychological realism.
The Brothers Karamazovย is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the โwicked and sentimentalโ Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sonsโthe 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, its 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 Dostoevskyโs prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevskyโs last and greatest novel.
