The Brothers Karamazov

I love mankind he said but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole the less I love man in particular. ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Brothers Karamazov The Brothers Karamazov (1880) by Fyodor Dostoevsky renders a wonderful plot involving erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs entailing the wicked and sentimental Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons-the red-cheeked young Alyosha the coldly rational Ivan and the spontaneous and sensual Dmitri. The story takes an interesting turn when the mystery around a murder surfaces in the plot. The engrossing events in the lives of the characters expose the Russian life during the golden era of Russian history.
