Dostoyevsky so brilliantly depicted the characters and how the human heart can go astray if unguided. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Why? *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2023* As a precursor to my review, let me say the following. Firstly, I am a classic-literature enthusiast with a Master’s in Literary Analysis. My first Russian novel was Anna Karenina, and I was enraptured. Secondly, I obviously did not expect this book to be the same, as it was written by a different author, but I expected the difficulties which arise from reading a book in translation as well as from this time period. Lastly, I am an extremely fast reader. Reading a novel in a week isn’t uncommon for me.I say all of that because I hated this book. I read it on a kindle, and seeing the percentage complete mocked me. I started in November of 2022 and finished the first week of March. I had almost decided to quit reading in January when someone told me that it was a “whodunnit” novel. I was intrigued but confused since I was 50% through with the book any no action has occurred and certainly not a crime of any sort. So I pressed on through more speeches that I’ve ever cared to read until the ending that doesn’t resolve anything!The first 50% is character background and multiple chapters of sermons.The second half is a trial with more speeches—just by lawyers rather than priests and philosophers.If you have 3 months to spare, go ahead, but I feel like I am going to have to go read some literary criticisms to illuminate me to why I’m even supposed to appreciate this book—let alone enjoy it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ivan Karamazov *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2020* Dostoevsky drew the character of Ivan Karamazov with a glance at his own tempestuous mind and heart. The author of the myth of the Grand Inquisitor, Ivan poses the question of theodicy in its most striking form.Unlike Leibniz or Voltaire, Vanya is not content with an abstract or fictional argument about God’s goodness. No, he has been clipping newspaper headlines for years detailing the cruelest deaths suffered by children. It is not difficult for the contemporary reader to empathize. For me, they were reminiscent of the torture of my own relatives in Nazi camps.However, Dostoevsky’s particular interest in theodicy was driven more by living in an era when the idea of a good life was opening up for the mass of humanity. The serfs were being freed in his native Russia, diseases were being eradicated and the benefits of modern technology were allowing even the working class the enjoyments of leisure.The question becomes, what of those left behind? Of those who undergo horrible suffering at the hands of an uncaring nature or from the evils of their fellow men? It is only in a world where many are living the good life that such a juxtaposition can even be made.And Ivan obsesses over it. He will not accept a God who allows such suffering by the innocent; unable to drive their cries from his ears he descends into madness.The only rational solution for Dostoevsky is that suffering will be redeemed by incalculable bliss. That the sufferings of this world are not to be compared with what is in store in the next. Two thousand years ago, Jesus expressed the same answer in his parable of Dives and Lazarus.In this way, The Brothers Karamazov runs parallel to Crime and Punishment. In that work, Dostoevsky explored whether a human being can live happily and sanely while ignoring moral law. Here he tests whether a human being can be sane while simultaneously acknowledging the suffering of the innocent and not believing in a deity.Of course, Dostoevsky’s solution is one we might not accept. One can ignore suffering and focus on the privileges enjoyed by most in Western cultures. That is always a safe alternative to maintaining one’s sanity.At least, these paths are how I read the curious fate of Ivan Karamazov. He raises not so much a question but a phenomena that the modern world, for all its achievements, cannot answer. Dostoevsky’s characters continue to resonate and provoke some hundred and fifty years after his passing. --- ## 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/1570837-the-brothers-karamazov-paperback-july-29-2012](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1570837-the-brothers-karamazov-paperback-july-29-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
