The Brothers Karamazov

A murder in a provincial town becomes a trial of faith itself. When Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is killed, suspicion falls on his eldest son Dmitri. Yet beneath the evidence lies a deeper conflict between three brothers whose beliefs could not be more opposed. Ivan wrestles with doubt. Alyosha seeks spiritual truth. Rivalries sharpen, loyalties fracture and hidden resentments surface. As the courtroom drama unfolds, the question of guilt extends beyond fact into conscience. The verdict may be delivered in court, but the true judgement belongs to the soul. FROM THE AWARD-WINNING TRANSLATORS RICHARD PEVEAR AND LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY
