The Brothers Karamazov: Introduction by Malcolm Jones (Everyman''s Library)
Fyodor Dostoevsky 路 1992
Dostoevsky鈥檚 greatest novel is a story of murder told with hair-raising intellectual clarity and a feeling for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature.<br/><br/>Fyodor Dostoevsky鈥檚 final novel, published just before his death in 1881, chronicles the bitter love-hate struggle between a larger-than-life father and his three very different sons. The author's towering reputation as one of the handful of thinkers who forged the modern sensibility has sometimes obscured the purely novelistic virtues鈥攂rilliant characterizations, flair for suspense and melodrama, instinctive theatricality鈥攖hat made his work so immensely popular in nineteenth-century Russia.<br/><br/>This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky鈥攖he definitive version in English鈥攎agnificently captures the rich and subtle energies of Dostoevsky鈥檚 masterpiece."<br/><br/>Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman鈥檚 Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
