The Brothers Karamazov [Bicentennial Edition]: A Novel in Four Parts With Epilogue by Fyodor M. Dostoevsky

Winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize, The Brothers Karamazov (Bicentennial Edition) by Fyodor M. Dostoevsky is a profound exploration of faith, family, and morality set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia.

In this sweeping masterpiece, the turbulent lives of the Karamazov family—patriarch Fyodor Pavlovich and his three conflicted sons, Dmitri, Ivan, and Alyosha—converge in a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. Dmitri’s fiery passion, Ivan’s intellectual torment, and Alyosha’s spiritual compassion collide in a dramatic courtroom battle over patricide, unraveling secrets that test the bounds of conscience and justice.

Through rich characterizations and philosophical dialogue, Dostoevsky weaves a tapestry of theological debate, existential dread, and human resilience.
