Brothers Karamazov
Dostoevsky's final masterpiece
The Brothers Karamazov is the final novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published in 1880, following three brothers—intellectual Ivan, sensual Dmitri, and spiritual Alyosha—entangled in their father's murder.
The work is considered one of the supreme achievements in world literature, exploring faith, doubt, free will, and morality through its famous passages including the Grand Inquisitor parable.
I finally finished The Brothers Karamazov.
