In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers a gripping tale of faith, doubt, and the tangled threads of family. When the corrupt and callous Fyodor Karamazov is found murdered, suspicion falls on his sons—each with reason to hate him, and each wrestling with demons of his own.

Dmitri, the passionate eldest, is caught in a bitter rivalry with his father over money and love. Ivan, the intellectual middle son, battles reason and belief in his search for truth. Alyosha, the youngest, seeks a life of spiritual clarity under the guidance of a beloved monk. And the mysterious illegitimate Smerdyakov, lurking on the edges of their lives, may hold more knowledge than he lets on.

A philosophical drama and murder mystery in one, The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoevsky’s final and greatest novel—a searing exploration of conscience, free will, and what it means to be human.
