Book summary

Fyodor Karamazov, a miserly and dissolute father, quarrels with his eldest son Dmitri over money and over the same woman. His two other sons take opposite paths: Ivan, tormented by the existence of evil, and gentle Alyosha, a novice in a monastery. One evening, the old man is murdered, and all suspicion falls on Dmitri.

Both a murder investigation and a great family novel, it is Dostoevsky's last book, and for many readers his greatest.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read this masterpiece in the language you are learning.
