The Brothers Karamazov

As overrated as the book is built up to be, it is still a masterpiece and there are parts in the novel that'll shock and shake your values at your core

A true bargain for this masterpiece. Brand new book delivered in a couple of days, I warmly recommend the seller!

This is not really a book, it is a launch into the universe. I have read it several times and each time it seems a completely new story. A proper study of The Brothers Karamazov could be a lifetime's dedication. I am a novelist myself and have taught Creative Writing extensively.The depth of Dostoyevsky's exploration of character could not be plumbed by many, least of all by myself, but it has made me happy just to realise that someone could do it and because it is there it is possible. When I finished the Kindle version on this reading I actually bought the hard copy here under discussion so that I could read it again and make better notes. It is Constance Garnett's translation that has given me the book back after I have read several others. A Russian friend of mine recommended it, this after I had been told it was not the most accurate. It is accurate in the sense that it conveys to the English-speaking reader what the writer intended (I know some Russian). I know I am writing awful superlatives but it was an experience to read this, not a pastime. If I have one criticism of this edition it is that a better and fuller introduction could be added to the translator's own sketchy one, and something scholarly would be a help,

Muy buen libro
