Publisher's Summary
After spending four years in a Siberian penal settlement, during which time he underwent a religious conversion, Dostoevsky developed a keen ability for deep character analysis. In The Brothers Karamazov, he explores human nature at its most loathsome and cruel but never flinches at what he finds.
The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov: shy, silent, and cruel. The four unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. This was Dostoevsky's final and best work.
What the critics say
"[Dostoevsky is] at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great....The Brothers Karamazov stands as the culmination of his art - his last, longest, richest, and most capacious book." (Washington Post Book World)

A most wonderful experience
A most wonderful, enthralling, riveting experience. This translation of this magnificent author was lively, humane and easily accessible, both emotionally and intellectually.
The performance was very good. It was sometimes uneven for short periods but this resolved quickly. All in all, a most wonderful experience for this person.

Great book Horrible narrator
Please stay away from this speaker and don’t ruin the book. This narrator doesn’t even know where to pause in sentence.
