The Brothers Karamazov

''The most magnificent novel ever written'' Sigmund Freud
The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family''s rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky''s dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur, and everyone''s faith in humanity is tested.
