In this novel, where people challenge God and society, in the alternating and dreadful rhythm of crime and punishment, the perversions of human thought and the chaos of subconscious impulses are revealed under a blinding light – as if our eye could see paradise and hell through clouds torn by lightning.
Within this unique world where the idealized and the melodramatic, the pathological and the healthy, the insightful and the cerebral merge into a solid amalgam, The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's last novel, takes a place entirely its own.
This work, written when Dostoevsky was nearly sixty years old and published in 1880, shortly before his death, is not only the most mature and the most complete of his great works, but without a doubt one of the most representative, as it summarizes all his ideas and vividly presents all the achievements of his art.
The intensity of this complex masterpiece makes its analysis and evaluation extremely difficult. It consists of many layers, and while its highest artistic success lies in the unity and interdependence of all its parts, one is obliged to examine these layers one by one separately, thus isolating them from each other and splitting the wholeness of the novel that is in fact an indivisible artistic whole.
