Summary
Translated by Constance Garnett， with an Introduction by A。 D。 P。 Briggs。
As Fyodor Karamazov awaits an amorous encounter， he is violently done to death。 The three sons of the old debauchee are forced to confront their own guilt or complicity。 Who will own to parricide？ The reckless and passionate Dmitri？ The corrosive intellectual Ivan？ Surely not the chaste novice monk Alyosha？ The search reveals the divisions which rack the brothers， yet paradoxically unite them。 Around the writhings of this one dysfunctional family Dostoevsky weaves a dense network of social， psychological and philosophical relationships。
At the same time he shows - from the opening 'scandal' scene in the monastery to a personal appearance by an eccentric Devil - that his dramatic skills have lost nothing of their edge。 The Karamazov Brothers， completed a few months before Dostoevsky's death in 1881， remains for many the high point of his genius as novelist and chronicler of the modern malaise。
It cast a long shadow over D。 H。 Lawrence， Thomas Mann， Albert Camus， and other giants of twentieth-century European literature。

Interrupted by work and study it took me a long time to complete this book。 Parts of it I found compelling but other sections offered little beyond what I had read elsewhere， however I am potentially falling into the trap of judging it against works that came later and were influenced by Dostoevsky。 Many times throughout the book I had to remind myself that it wasn’t written in C21 given how relevant the descriptions of psychology， sociology and even popular science were。

Read on and off over almost a whole year and had to switch to audiobook to finish。 Wish I had been up for reading it more consistently， think I would have appreciated it much more。

I initially have this one a 4， but after some thinking bumped it up to a solid 5。 For me， this is one of those books that make more sense the more you think about it， long after you have finished the story。Guilt， faith and redemption are big themes in the novel - how people perceive and attempt to attain them。 What have I learned？ Human beings are complex， and there may not be any way to make sense of this complexity。 Each of one of us ultimately navigates life in search for purpose and yes， as I initially have this one a 4， but after some thinking bumped it up to a solid 5。 For me， this is one of those books that make more sense the more you think about it， long after you have finished the story。Guilt， faith and redemption are big themes in the novel - how people perceive and attempt to attain them。 What have I learned？ Human beings are complex， and there may not be any way to make sense of this complexity。 Each of one of us ultimately navigates life in search for purpose and yes， as I said earlier， redemption。 In the belief that every human deserves these， does that justify our actions， whether good or bad？ The book is brilliant。 Was it gripping and page-turning？ At times no。 I had to dedicate a whole month to go through this but it was such a privilege to be given the chance to。 A book doesn’t have to be “unputdownable” to be a 5 for me。 Should you read it？ Yes， or at least attempt to。 It is hard work， but is essential reading in my opinion。 。。。more

It's hard to rate this one。 I think you can enjoy and appreciate a classic while still acknowledging that it would have benefited from a little modern editing。 I was engaged throughout almost all of the story， despite some redundancies and tangents。 My biggest complaint would be the Ilyusha side plot。 It's a sad story on its own， but it seemed to distract from the meat of the book。 Just my two cents。 It's hard to rate this one。 I think you can enjoy and appreciate a classic while still acknowledging that it would have benefited from a little modern editing。 I was engaged throughout almost all of the story， despite some redundancies and tangents。 My biggest complaint would be the Ilyusha side plot。 It's a sad story on its own， but it seemed to distract from the meat of the book。 Just my two cents。 。。。more

A classic novel。I understood the story but the translation was not great。 I am sure if read as it was originally written in Russian it would be more meaningful。 I liked it though。

I finally finished this beast of a classic。 Around the halfway point I was flying through the pages， I had to know！ （view spoiler）[ Did Dmitri kill his father？！ Alas， we are never shown for sure。 Dostoevsky deliberately leaves it unproved。 Which seems to me to be the main claim to fame of this long Russian novel。 That Dostoevsky manages to pull off such a distressing and ambiguous tale is what is so impressive to me。 （hide spoiler）] Dostoevsky writes as if we are watching a play with characters I finally finished this beast of a classic。 Around the halfway point I was flying through the pages， I had to know！ （view spoiler）[ Did Dmitri kill his father？！ Alas， we are never shown for sure。 Dostoevsky deliberately leaves it unproved。 Which seems to me to be the main claim to fame of this long Russian novel。 That Dostoevsky manages to pull off such a distressing and ambiguous tale is what is so impressive to me。 （hide spoiler）] Dostoevsky writes as if we are watching a play with characters running in and out of the scene at the end of his chapters。 His characters speak wildly， gesture madly， and are overall excellent dramatic actors。 It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion。 Are Russians really like this？ Were they ever like this？ I can only assume there must be some truth to this book， as it is one of many wild Russian novels written about the same time （I am speaking of the 'Golden Age' in Russian literature）。I am surprised that even though I thought I knew the ending to this book before reading it， it nevertheless shocked me and pulled me steadily down it's rabbit holes。 At times I felt that Dostoevsky was deliberately playing with his reader， deliberately digging at their own unconscious mind。 At many points I had to stop for a few days to digest what I had read。 After the first half of the book I also took a break of a few months。 I simply could not go on， it had been so disturbingly horrifying。Dostoevsky asks big questions about morality， psychology， religion， family and romantic relationships， the purpose of courts and judgement， etc。 and leaves us with the answer in this quote:"Ah， children， ah， dear friends， do not be afraid of life！ How good life is when you do something good and rightful！"If even one more of the characters had been good and rightful in their life， the plot of this book would not be what it is。 Bravo Dostoevsky！ I read a 776 page book about awful people doing awful things。 Only a master could pull off such brow-beating of his audience。 I have a few things to say about the main characters， the Karamazovs:（view spoiler）[1。 Fyodor （the father）: This man is not a sympathetic victim。 I personally have no sadness that he is dead。2。 Dmitri （the eldest son）: Again， this is not a sympathetic villain。 Whether he committed the crime or not is irrelevant to me。 He is guilty because he desired it at all， and did not behave better in his prior life。3。 Ivan （the second son）: The atheist who goes a bit mad by the end， again I don't care for him。 4。 Alyosha （the last son）: Ah， here is the only likeable character of the bunch， but it is hinted at that he may come to no good end himself。 I can't believe his fiance ditches him and becomes evil， it's really too much Dostoevsky！（hide spoiler）]Then a few words about some of the other mains:（view spoiler）[5。 Father Zosima: What a fascinating character。 I loved that we got to see the infighting of the monks after his death。 By far the strongest parts of the book to me are about Father Zosima。6。 Smerdyakov: Do I even need to say it？ Of all the hateful characters in this book， he is the most hateful。7。 Katya: The first love of Dmitri， she apparently takes revenge on him for wounding her pride through saddling him with the guilt of her unrequited 'love'。 It is unclear throughout if she loves him or not。 By the end we are told she loves his brother Ivan。 Overall I'm unfazed， her 'love' is not worth the name。 She betrays Dmitri from the beginning by bombarding him with false and selfish love。 Sure Dmitri wounded her pride by the little drama with her father， but that by no means justifies her later actions。 8。 Grusha: The second love of Dmitri， she seems to love him only when she realizes what she has done。 Her denial that she loves Dmitri is what drives the first half of the book， with the love triangle between her， Dmitri， and the father Fyodor being the main motivation for the murder。 That she seems to repent later on is not impressive to me， or to her townspeople。 It comes far too late。 I am ultimately unconvinced that she really loves Dmitri。 It seems more likely to me that she just feels guilty and enjoys the self-importance 'loving' a tragic man gives her。 Am I too cynical about this？ Dostoevsky would probably approve。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Wow！！ Che libro stupendo。 L’ho ascoltato su Audible。 All’inizio ero un po’ preoccupata per la lunghezza e devo dire che i primi capitoli non mi hanno aiutata。 Leggendolo sul cartaceo è sicuramente più facile tenere traccia dei nomi， ma concentrandomi un po’ alla fine mi sono abituata。 Mi è piaciuto moltissimo。 Il registro cambia di continuo e onestamente non mi aspettavo mi sarebbe piaciuto così tanto！！

If I had to occupy myself through a Russian winter， I， too， would write a tedious， plodding novel like this。 I would also make nearly every single character unsympathetic， and they would all behave like immature children。 The women， in particular， would be annoying and fickle。 I'd craft my story in such a way as to make it entirely predictable and to make it easy as heck to guess who the murderer will be by 200 pages in （though there'd still be 800 pages more for the reader to trudge through）。 T If I had to occupy myself through a Russian winter， I， too， would write a tedious， plodding novel like this。 I would also make nearly every single character unsympathetic， and they would all behave like immature children。 The women， in particular， would be annoying and fickle。 I'd craft my story in such a way as to make it entirely predictable and to make it easy as heck to guess who the murderer will be by 200 pages in （though there'd still be 800 pages more for the reader to trudge through）。 The only interesting part I'd put in there would be a few， short chapters when Father Zosima shares about his journey to becoming a monk and an anecdote from his young adult life。Sarcasm aside， I want my time back。 Not as bad as INFINITE JEST but yikes。 。。。more

Sorry， but this classic was much less enjoyable than others of its time。 I felt the characters were hard to read because everything they did was to the extreme。 I have never heard of so many people actually suffering unconsciousness because of brain fever when they get stressed out。 There are some interesting philosophical ideas， however， and my favorite was when Ivan tries to explain to Alyosha why he cannot accept God。 "It's not that I don't accept God， you must understand， it's the world crea Sorry， but this classic was much less enjoyable than others of its time。 I felt the characters were hard to read because everything they did was to the extreme。 I have never heard of so many people actually suffering unconsciousness because of brain fever when they get stressed out。 There are some interesting philosophical ideas， however， and my favorite was when Ivan tries to explain to Alyosha why he cannot accept God。 "It's not that I don't accept God， you must understand， it's the world created by Him I don't and cannot accept。 Let me make it plain。 I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for， that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage， like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidian mind of man， that in the world's finale， at the moment of eternal harmony， something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts， for the comforting of all resentments， for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity， of all the blood they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened to men--but though all that may come to pass， I don't accept it。 I won't accept it。" He is perfectly describing the atonement of the Savior， Jesus Christ， yet refuses to believe he can be a beneficiary。 。。。more
