The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts and an Epilogue (Penguin Classics)

Best Novel I've ever read ! Murder mystery with deep philosophical overtones. Highly recommended.

I was brought this as a gift and wasn't sure if it would be something I'd like to read but I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it alot

Amazing and so challenging novel with huge spiritual implications. Wonderful in so many ways

Be aware the cover is incredibly thin, resulting in the book being rather 'floppy' because the spine doesn't hold true. Very much looking forward to reading it despite the quality of the cover.

good

It requires some effort to grasp certain sections of the book, especially when Dostoevsky details the nuances of Christianity in Russia, but if you can work though it, (I used Chat GPT to help summarise the meaning behind some passages), The Brothers Karamazov is a thought provoking master class. I am yet to read another authors work which encapsulates, with such vivid detail, the stark differences in personality of a wide range of characters. I know people struggle to read his books because they are laborious, but this is because of the time and effort he dedicates to fleshing out the tendancies and thought patterns of characters. At times, it can feel like the storyline isn't progressing, but these sections allow you to grasp why certain characters will make the decisions they do, why start to suffer and why they change their minds. A classic, no doubt about it.

Full five stars for the product itself. Love CBS's designs on the covers and the penguin cloth bound translations and quality. Sadly Amazon let the product down by delivering damaged goods due to inadequate packaging. My first copy had scraped and smudged print on the front cover which was in all fairness promptly replaced, only to have a bashed spine. Speedy delivery, competitive prices but poor condition. Can't speak to the contents as not yet read and will take me a while. Looking forward to it though.

I purchased this as a gift for someone who is a keen reader. Obviously not read it but was told it was a good read. The book arrived in a good condition. So I would recommend.

this was gift to my daughter and she loves it.

The black pattern on the cover peels off way too easily.

Wahrer Klassiker!!!

Aún no lo leo, acaba de llegar. Esta un poco maltratado de los bordes, pero no importa, batallé mucho para conseguirlo, y ya está aquí :) No es adaptación, es la novela completa

"The Brothers Karamazov" is an absolute classic and masterpiece. Also, I like David McDuff's translation (though I'm not fluent in Russian). Although it is a slow read, I find that it's worth it and can take up your spare time that you would have been bord senseless. With what I have read of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky, he certainly delves into the morality that encircles the depths of humanity.
