For the present I will only say that this “landowner”—for so we used to call him, although he hardly spent a day of his life on his own estate—was a strange type, yet one pretty frequently to be met with, a type abject and vicious and at the same time senseless. But he was one of those senseless persons who are very well capable of looking after their worldly affairs, and, apparently, after nothing else. Fyodor Pavlovitch, for instance, began with next to nothing; his estate was of the smallest; he ran to dine at other men’s tables, and fastened on them as a toady, yet at his death it appeared that he had a hundred thousand roubles in hard cash. At the same time, he was all his life one of the most senseless, fantastical fellows in the whole district. I repeat, it was not stupidity—the majority of these fantastical fellows are shrewd and intelligent enough—but just senselessness, and a peculiar national form of it.’<br/>Synopsis<br/>Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an examination of erotic rivalry through the lens of a series of triangular love affairs involving the "wicked and sentimental" Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons: the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Dostoevsky conveys the entirety of Russian life, its social and spiritual striving, via the thrilling events of their narrative, in what was both a glorious age and a sad turning point in Russian culture. This philosophical story delves deeply into issues of God, free will, and morality.<br/><br/>"A magnificent reprint" We have taken every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
