Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A novel set in nineteenth-century Russia that evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil blur, and everyone’s faith in humanity is tested.

Recommendations
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 to us a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so made new again.
