Synopsis:

A monumental new translation―the first in more than twenty years―of Russia’s greatest family drama, rendered with all the passion, humour and soul of the original

Dostoevsky’s final, greatest novel, The Brothers Karamazov, paints a complex and richly detailed portrait of a family tormented by its extraordinarily cruel patriarch, Fyodor Pavlovich, whose callous decisions slowly decimate the lives of his sons―the eponymous brothers Karamazov―and lead to his violent murder. In the aftermath of the killing, the brothers contend with dilemmas of honour, faith and reason as the community closes in on the murderer in their midst. Acclaimed translator Michael R. Katz renders this masterpiece’s nuanced and evocative storytelling in a vibrant, signature prose style that captures all the power of Dostoevsky’s original―the clever humour, the rich emotion, the passion and the turmoil―and that will captivate and unsettle a new generation of readers.

Starr Professor Emeritus of Russian and East European Studies at Middlebury College.
