It is a book not simply to be read, but to be studied for its profound wisdom concerning the human condition. I am reviewing the Ignat Avsey translation which is titled The Karamazov Brothers. Just the fact that Avsey has given the book a new title, which he thinks is in keeping with what Dostoevsky had in mind, suggests to the reader that this translation will break with the more traditional approach taken by the reliable Constance Garnett, whose translation I have read twice.The Karamazov brothers could not be more unlike. Dmitry, the oldest brother, is a hothead who acts first and then learns to repent later for all his misdeeds; he is filled with anger and resentment and hurts deeply the people he loves most. He is the prodigal son who repents too late to be forgiven by a father he despises.Ivan, the middle brother, is an intellectual who lives in a world of ideas. He is profoundly affected by the suffering he sees in the world and rejects a God who will permit so much suffering to occur. The servant Smerdyakov listens to Ivan and then waits for a chance to put Ivan's ideas and suggestions into action. Ivan is horrified when Smerdyakov brags to him about the great crime he has committed.Alexei, the youngest brother, has decided to become a monk. He attempts to correspond to God's grace. He lives a life of self-denial and has the willingness to serve others. Like Prince Myshkin in The Idiot, another great novel by Dostoyevsky, he is an example of a good man who imitates Christ and appears, for that reason, childlike and unable to confront the evil of this world.Smerdyakov, the servant of old Karamazov, the disreputable father of the brothers, is thought to be an illegitimate son of the old man. He adores Ivan and hangs on his every word. Smerdyakov will take Ivan's philosophy and put it into practice with disastrous consequences.Three brothers, who could not be more unlike, a disreputable father, whose scandalous behavior is a driving force of the novel, an illegitimate brother, who watches and waits for his time to take decisive action, are the driving forces of perhaps the greatest psychological novel ever written. The patient reader is rewarded with a story that involves us completely in the lives of a cast of characters that represent all aspects of the human condition.The Avsey translation of this great book will take its place proudly beside the best novels in any person's library and will be taken down from time to time from the shelf, if not to be completely reread, at least to be reminded of the great genius of man.Added note. Constance Garnett has received much criticism for her translation of The Brothers Karamazov. Perhaps before deciding which translation to buy, the reader should sample a few pages from various translators to determine which seems best. As noted, I am recommending Avsey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This is the translation to read *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024* I recently finished Ignat Avsey's translation of The Karamazov Brothers and recommended it as the best translation. I've twice read Constance Garnett's late 19th Century translation. Thank you, Mrs. Garnett for introducing the Western world to Russian literature, buy your translations have been surpassed by more modern translation. Avsey was a native Russian speaker who lived in the UK most of his adult life. His translation is fresh, immensely readable and captures Dostoyevsky's humor, which you don't get in the Garnett translation. Avsey is particularly great at rendering dialogue, with each character having a distinctive style. His introduction, character list, timeline and extensive footnotes are most helpful. In the introduction, Avsey explains that he calls his translation "The Karamazov Brothers" instead of "The Brothers Karamazov" because adjective/noun is usual English syntax. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars It is amazing *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2024* a beautiful book that I will read forever --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/126736640-the-karamazov-brothers-oxford-worlds-classics-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/126736640-the-karamazov-brothers-oxford-worlds-classics-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
