The Brothers Karamazov

內容簡介

內容簡介 HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. 'It's reactionary to believe in God in our days, ' I said, 'but I am the devil, so I may be believed in.' When corrupt landowner Fyodor Karamazov is murdered awaiting an illicit rendezvous, his estranged sons immediately fall under suspicion. Was it Dmitri, the reckless hedonist engaged in a wicked rivalry with his father, or Ivan, whose rational and aloof façade hides a troubled mind? Or could it have been Alexey, a devoted man of God, unwillingly entangled in these sordid affairs of the flesh? Under the shadow of this brutal killing, the brothers grapple with the secrets and lies which both divide and bind their family. In his final novel, Dostoyevsky employs his peerless understanding of love and hate, innocence and complicity in the battle for Russia's soul. The Brothers Karamazov is a masterpiece of good and evil, faith and family.
