The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's final and greatest novel, paints a complex and richly detailed portrait of a family tormented by its extraordinarily cruel patriarch, Fyodor Pavlovich. His 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. Katz's translation captures all the power of Dostoevsky's original—the clever humour, the rich emotion, the passion, and the turmoil—that will captivate and unsettle a new generation of readers.
