A brilliant focus on the relationship between father, the lustful Fyodor Karamazov, and his three sons- Dmitri, Ivan, and Alexei. One driven by passion, another by his intellect and another by his faith in Christ. There is not one other book from 19th century Russia that will leave you in a state of moral conflict. If you've ever dreamed of infusing more discussion and 'vodka' provoking subject matters into your love of Jane Austen or your Thomas Hardy, then this is the epic for you!
