The Karamazov Brothers

Who bears the guilt for Fyodor Karamazov’s murder? His three sons must face that question. Dmitri acts on strong feelings and takes risks. Ivan takes a harsh, critical view of the world. Alyosha trains as a monk. The search for who bears the blame shows their clashes. It also shows the ties they share.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel tells a family crime story. It explores life in society and questions of thought and belief. It suits fans of classic fiction about why people act. It also looks at choices of right and wrong.

Wordsworth Editions brought out this English paperback in 2010. Constance Garnett translated the text. A. D. P. Briggs wrote the introduction.
