| Publisher Description: "The Brothers Karamazov" is Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky's last novel, considered one of his four masterpieces together with "Crime and Punishment" (1866), "The Idiot" (1869), and "Demons" (1871). Set in 19th-century Russia, this philosophical novel explores the questions of God, morality, and free will set to the backdrop of a rapidly modernising Russia. It was initially released as a serial in "The Russian Messenger" between January 1879 and November 1880. Dostoevsky died shortly after its publication. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881) was a Russian novelist, essayist, short story writer, journalist, and philosopher. His literature examines human psychology during the turbulent social, spiritual and political atmosphere of 19th-century Russia, and he is considered one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. A prolific writer, Dostoevsky produced 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short stories and numerous other works. This volume is not to be missed by fans of Russian literature and collectors of Dostoevsky's seminal work. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
