The brothers Karamazov : a novel in four parts with epilogue by Fyodor Dostoyevsky( Book )

16 editions published between 1933 and 1979 in English and German and held by 578 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

'The Brothers Karamazov' is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia. Karamazov is a towering masterpiece of literature, philosophy, psychology, and religion. It tells the story of intellectual Ivan, sensual Dmitri, and idealistic Alyosha Karamazov, who collide in the wake of their despicable father's brutal murder. Into the framework of the story Dostoevsky poured all of his deepest concerns - the origin of evil, the nature of freedom, the craving for meaning and, most importantly, whether God exists. The novel is famous for three chapters that may be ranked among the greatest pages of Western literature. "Rebellion" and "The Grand Inquisitor" present what many have considered the strongest arguments ever formulated against the existence of God, while "The Devil" brilliantly portrays the banality of evil. Ultimately, Dostoevsky believes that Christ-like love prevails. But does he prove it? A rich, moving exploration of the critical questions of human existence, 'The Brothers Karamazov' powerfully challenges all readers to reevaluate the world and their place in it. - Amazon (summary for another edition of this title)
