<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Dostoyevskys masterpiece introduces a world filled with greed, passion, depravity, and complex moral issues, as three brothers become involved in the brutal murder of their own father. This edition features an Afterword by bestselling author Sara Peretsky. Revised reissue.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Completed only a few months before the author's death, <i>The Brothers Karamazov</i> is Dostoyevsky's largest, most expansive, most life-embracing work. 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.<br>As in many of Dostoyevsky's novels, the plot centers on a murder. Three brothers, different in character but bound by their ancestry, are drawn into the crime's vortex: Dmitri, a young officer utterly unrestrained in love, hatred, jealousy, and generosity; Ivan, an intellectual capable of delivering impromptu disquisitions about good and evil, God, and the devil; and Alyosha, the youngest brother, preternaturally patient, kind, and loving. Part mystery, part profound philosophical and theological debate, <i>The Brothers Karamazov </i>represents the culmination of Dostoyevsky's life's work and ranks among the greatest novels of all time.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Completed only a few months before the author's death, <i>The Brothers Karamazov</i> is Dostoyevsky's largest, most expansive, most life-embracing work.
