About this title

Review:

"ÝDostoevsky 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. ÝThis¨ scrupulous rendition can only be welcomed. It returns us to a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so made new again." -"Washington Post Book World"
"A miracle . . . Every page of the new Karamazov is a permanent standard, and an inspiration." -"The Times" (London)
"One finally gets the musical whole of Dostoevsky's original." -"New York Times Book Review"
"Absolutely faithful . . . Fulfills in remarkable measure most of the criteria for an ideal translation . . . The stylistic accuracy and versatility of registers used . . . bring out the richness and depth of the original in a way similar to a faithful and sensitive restoration of a painting." -"The Independent"
"It may well be that Dostoevsky's Ýworld¨, with all its resourceful energies of life and language, is only now-and through the medium of Ýthis¨ new translation-beginning to come home to the English-speaking reader." -"New York Review of Books"
"Heartily recommended to any reader who wishes to come as close to Dostoevsky's Russian as it is possible." -Joseph Frank, Princeton University
With an Introduction by Malcolm V. Jones
