`The most magnificent novel ever written` - Sigmund Freud The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide, Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown, the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family`s rifts, and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky`s dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur, and everyone`s faith in humanity is tested.
