Both in Russian and world literature, The Brothers Karamazov, the swan song of Fyodor Dostoevsky, is considered a landmark work.
Through the pages of this work, Dostoevsky, who was never indifferent to the vibrant reality of his time, has the opportunity to vividly portray a tapestry of the life of Russia and its people at the end of the tumultuous 1860s.
This is the era following the abolition of serfdom, a wound that for centuries distorted the face and soul of the country and was rendered in an unparalleled way by the pen of Gogol in 'Dead Souls.'
The work, set in 1866 - or, more broadly, in the period 1860-1870 - precisely conveys the sense of renewal, the hope for the succession of the old world by a new, fairer one, within which new social forces will find ground to take root and flourish, and it is rightly considered one of Dostoevsky's most optimistic works.
