Synopsis
Winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize
A handsome new collectible edition of Pevear and Volokhonsky’s peerless translation of Dostoevsky’s masterpiece with a new foreword from Karl Ove Knausgaard.
The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Fyodor Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, its social and spiritual strivings, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture. This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal inventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Brothers Karamazov is a classic that only gets more timely with the ages. In its account of the murder trial of Fyodor Karamazov, it was the true-crime phenomenon of its day; in its study of how his three archetypally different sons butt heads and come under scrutiny in the wake of his death, it calls to mind any number of modern-day dramas about succession and power struggles. But most significantly, it is an unparalleled exploration of faith and morality, and a probing inquisition into the existence of God and free will. Through this gripping account of this family saga, Dostoevsky paints a portrait of Russia at a pivotal moment in its history-perched perilously between great freedom and great tragedy. A handsome new collectible edition of Pevear and Volokhonskys peerless, best-selling translation of Dostoevskys masterpiece with a new foreword from Karl Ove Knausgaard.
