KNYGA Fyodor Dostoevsky The Brothers Karamazov (Signature Editions)

Fyodor Dostoevsky's passionate and philosophical final novel, freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line. Set in 19th-century Russia, when a landowner is murdered, the lives of his sons are changed forever: the sentimental Dmitri, whose contentious relationship with his father immediately places him under suspicion for the murder; Ivan, the intellectual, whose mental tortures lead to a breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's wounds; and their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov, who casts a dark shadow over them all. Part murder mystery, part courtroom drama, Dostoyevsky’s masterpiece paints a dark portrait where the lines between innocence and guilt, right and wrong, blur and everyone's faith is tested.
