The Brothers Karamazov
Notebook
Dostoevsky's final and longest novel, serialized in 1879–1880 in Russia and published as a book in 1880 shortly before his death. Set around a contested patricide in a provincial Russian town, it stages through the three Karamazov brothers — sensual Dmitri, intellectual Ivan, and devout Alyosha — Dostoevsky's deepest meditation on faith, doubt, freedom, suffering, and the moral weight of God's existence. The novel has been central to modern discussion of religion, ethics, and psychology ever since.
