About This Item
A true masterpiece of world literature. This was the author's swan song; he died the same year it was published. Published in serial form in The Russian Messenger from 1879-80, and hugely popular throughout Russian society, The Brothers Karamozov stands as Dostoyevsky's largest and arguably greatest novel. This first edition quickly sold out. "Those who go to the novels of Dostoevsky in search of solutions to life's problems will be quickly disappointed, Dostoevsky writes rather for those who wish to know what things are worth thinking about. This is possibly the reason his books possess such vital energy" (Kjetssa, 336). Writing The Brothers Karamazov was for Dostoyevsky a profound and personal spiritual journey: "When I have written this last novel, I shall be ready to die, for I shall have uttered therein my whole heart's burden." Kilgour 286.
