About this listen

 First published in serial form between 1879 and 1880, The Brothers Karamazov stands as one of the most profound masterpieces in world literature. This final and most celebrated novel of Fyodor Dostoyevsky delves into the tumultuous relationships between a cantankerous father and his adult sons, who grapple not only with their familial conflicts but also with the existential dilemmas of truth, faith, doubt, free will, guilt, and responsibility. Dostoyevskys brilliant narrative technique highlights the complexities of attaining absolute knowledge, while the psychological and philosophical richness of the story has influenced modern literary giants like Joyce, Kafka, and Woolf. The Brothers Karamazov has captivated a diverse array of readers, from Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud to Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Putin, and Hillary Clinton. - Summary by Bruce Pirie
