In 1880 Dostoevsky completed "The Brothers Karamazov," theliterary effort for which he had been preparing all his life.Compelling, profound, complex, it is the story of a patricide andof the four sons who each had a motive for murder: Dmitry, thesensualist, Ivan, the intellectual; Alyosha, the mystic; andtwisted, cunning Smerdyakov, the bastard child. Frequently lurid,nightmarish, always brilliant, the novel plunges the reader into asordid love triangle, a pathological obsession, and a grippingcourtroom drama. But throughout the whole, Dostoevsky searhes forthe truth--about man, about life, about the existence of God. Aterrifying answer to man's eternal questions, this monumental workremains the crowning achievement of perhaps the finest novelist ofall time.
【作者简介】
Fyodor M. Dostoevsky (November 11 [O.S. October 30] 1821 –February 9 [O.S. January 28] 1881) is considered one of thegreatest Russian writers, whose works have had a profound andlasting effect on twentieth-century fiction. His works oftenfeature characters living in poor conditions with disparate andextreme states of mind, and exhibit both an uncanny grasp of humanpsychology as well as penetrating analyses of the political, socialand spiritual states of Russia of his time. Many of his best-knownworks are prophetic precursors to modern-day thoughts. He issometimes considered to be a founder of existentialism, mostfrequently for Notes from Underground, which has been described byWalter Kaufmann as "the best overture for existentialism everwritten."
