DESCRIPTION:
Jones . “Dostoevsky is at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great The Brothers Karamazov stands as the culmination of his art–his last, longest, richest, and most capacious book. This scrupulous rendition can only be welcomed. It returns us to a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so made new again.” –Washington Post Book World“A miracle Every page of the new Karamazov is a permanent standard, and an inspiration.” –The Times (London)“One finally gets the musical whole of Dostoevsky’s original.” –New York Times Book Review“Absolutely faithful Fulfills in remarkable measure most of the criteria for an ideal translation The stylistic accuracy and versatility of registers used bring out the richness and depth of the original in a way similar to a faithful and sen
This is very poor quality for a hardcover. We know the text is gold, what I review is the quality of this volume which cost $20 at the time of this writing. The size is good for holding in your hands at night. The paper and binding are cheap and of dubious permanency; the worst feature being the pages which are distractingly transparent so as to obscure the words when not flush with t. The Brothers Karamazov is one of the greatest novels ever written Sylvia Speredes The Brothers Karamazov is one of the greatest novels ever written.

As in many of Dostoyevsky's novels, the plot centers on a murder. As the Introduction says, "The characters Dostoyevsky writes about, though they may not appear to be ones who live on our street, or even on any street, seem, in their passions and lack of self-control, the familiar and intimate denizens of our souls." It's no wonder that for many people The Brothers Karamazov is one of the greatest novels ever written.. Sucked into the crime's vortex are three brothers: Dmitri, a young officer utterly unrestrained in love, hatred, jealousy, and generosity; Ivan, an intellectual capable of delivering, impromptu, the most brilliant, lively, and unforgettable disquisitions about good and evil, God, and the devil; and Alyosha, the youngest brother, preternaturally patient, good, and loving.Part mystery, part profound philosophical and theological debate, The Brothers Karamazov pulls the reader in on many different levels. Filled with human passions — lust, greed, love, jealousy, sorrow and humor — the book is also infused with moral issues and the issue of collective guilt. Completed only two months before his death, The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoyevsky's largest, most expanisve, most life-em
