The Brothers Karamazov, the culmination of Dostoyevsky’s work, was completed in 1880, shortly before his death. A story of parricide and fraternal jealousy profoundly involves the questions of anarchism, atheism and the existence of God.
This first volume introduces Fyodor Karamazov, a mean and disreputable Russian landowner, and his three legitimate sons: Dmitry, a profligate army officer; Ivan, a writer with revolutionary ideas; and Alexey, a religious novice. They meet to resolve a family dispute in the presence of the monk Zossima.
Rare and well preserved edition from the early 1970s. Spine unbent. Some yellowing to pages.
