"The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for."
The last great novel from the greatest of Russian masters is presented here for the first time in stunning E-Book format with original color illustrations by renowned Russian artist Nikolai Timkov.
'The Brothers Karamazov' is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia.
'Karamazov' is a towering masterpiece of literature, philosophy, psychology, and religion. It tells the story of intellectual Ivan, sensual Dmitri, and idealistic Alyosha Karamazov, who collide in the wake of their despicable father's brutal murder.
Into the framework of the story Dostoevsky poured all of his deepest concerns--the origin of evil, the nature of freedom, the craving for meaning and, most importantly, whether God exists. The novel is famous for three chapters that may be ranked among the greatest pages of Western literature. "Rebellion" and "The Grand Inquisitor" present what many have considered the strongest arguments ever formulated against the existence of God, while "The Devil" brilliantly portrays the banality of evil. Ultimately, Dostoevsky believes that Christ-like love prevails. But does he prove it?
A rich, moving exploration of the critical questions of human existence, 'The Brothers Karamazov' powerfully challenges all readers to reevaluate the world and their place in it.
