Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dostoevskys greatest novel is a story of murder told with hair-raising intellectual clarity and a feeling for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature. Fyodor Dostoevskys final novel, published just before his death in 1881, chronicles the bitter love-hate struggle between a larger-than-life father and his three very different sons. The author's towering reputation as one of the handful of thinkers who forged the modern sensibility has sometimes obscured the purely novelistic virtuesbrilliant characterizations, flair for suspense and melodrama, instinctive theatricalitythat made his work so immensely popular in nineteenth-century Russia. This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonskythe definitive version in Englishmagnificently captures the rich and subtle energies of Dostoevskys masterpiece." Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everymans Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times. The violent lives of three sons are exposed when their father is murdered and each one attempts to come to terms with his guilt.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dostoevsky's crowning masterpiece and the quintessential expression of his thought, The Brothers Karamazov tells the tale of a man's murder and the search to discover his murderer. As a novel, this book has every requisite: romance; vengeance; murder; intrigue; religion; philosophy; and a big dose of ''whodunnit.'' Dostoyevsky is without peer in his capacity for depicting numerous plausible characters and, thereby, presenting differing lines of philosophical thought compellingly. His famous depiction of Father Zossima, the Russian staretz, is contained in this novel, as is his infamous Grand Inquisitor. The blessing of belief, the curse of unbelief, the sordidness of life lived refusing to believe and the vacuity of the apathetic life are all portrayed. If one were to read only one novel by Dostoevsky, this would be the one to choose. And, if one were to choose a translation, this would be the one. Critics have deemed this recent translation (1990) to be the most faithful to date, reflecting the wit and the varied stylistic levels of Dostoevsky's writing with a clarity that no other English translation achieves. 796 pp. Seller Inventory # 234903
