The Brothers Karamazov (Alt. Cover)

This extraordinary novel, Dostoyevsky's last and greatest work, tells the dramatic story of four brothers: Dmitri, pleasure-seeking, impatient, unruly... Ivan, brilliant and morose... Alyosha, gentle, loving, honest... and illegitimate Smerdyakov, sly, silent, cruel. Driven by intense passion, they become involved in the brutal murder of their own father, one of the most loathsome characters in all literature. Featuring the famous chapter "The Grand Inquisitor", Dostoyevsky's masterpiece is at once a complex character study, a riveting murder mystery, and a fascinating examination of a man's morality and the question of God's existence.
