The Karamazov Brothers (Oxford World's Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A striking novel by one of the foremost Russian novelists, The Brothers Karamazov was a distinctive work when it was first published in the early 1900s--roughly 20 years after Dostoyevsky's death--not only for its stylistic writing, but for its brutal honesty. The truth-telling of Dmitri Karamazov, a young officer reduced to roguish behavior and the focal character in the drama, to his brother Ivan, a pseudo-intellectual of enormous talk and little action, and a myriad of minor characters, including an elder Karamazov, a third brother, a hermit, and a monk, becomes nearly overwhelming. In an era when expressing one's thoughts and innermost feelings was frowned upon, Dostoyevsky's characters exude an openness rarely seen in literature.
The New York Times Book Review
Dostoyevsky pours out in a flood over these pages the souls of his Russians.
