The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky - Greatest AudioBooks ►Originally published in a serial form in 1879-80, today, “The Brothers Karamazov” is widely regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature ever written. It is the crowning achievement and final novel of Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky who died before writing a planned sequel. ("Dostoevsky" is also spelled 'Dostoyevsky" - in Russian: Ѳедоръ Михайловичъ Достоевскій - Fyódor Mikháylovich Dostoyévskiy), The Brothers Karamazov begins with 3 brothers contending with their cantankerous, exasperating, fool of a father -- "Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov". More importantly, the 3 brothers are grappling with an existential question: How to live in a world where it is a struggle to be certain of "the truth". A world where it is difficult to know "the truth” about anything -- about others, about oneself, or about the many great philosophical questions and topics -- faith, doubt, free will, guilt, and responsibility. Dostoyevsky’s technique underlines the sheer difficulty of attaining sure knowledge. The novel’s psychological and philosophical depth set the stage for modern novelists including James Joyce, Franz Kafka, and Virginia Woolf.
