The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a philosophical novel that centers around the Karamazov family—father Fyodor Pavlovich and his three sons: Dmitri, Ivan, and Alexei. Each son represents a different aspect of human nature: Dmitri is passionate and impulsive, Ivan is intellectual and skeptical, and Alexei is spiritual and compassionate. The novel explores deep themes of faith, morality, free will, and the nature of good and evil, culminating in the murder of Fyodor Pavlovich. As the brothers struggle with their own beliefs and relationships, they are drawn into a complex investigation that forces them to confront profound philosophical questions about life, justice, and redemption.
