The most magnificent novel ever written Sigmund Freud

The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family s rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky s dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur, and everyone s faith in humanity is tested.

Translated with an Introduction and notes by DAVID McDUFF

I was born in 1945, and attended the University of Edinburgh, where I studied Russian with German. After living for some time in the Soviet Union, Denmark, Iceland, and the United States, I eventually settled in the United Kingdom, where I worked for several years as a co-editor and reviewer on the literary magazine Stand. I then moved to London, where I began my career as a literary translator.

I m really a translator more than an author, though I like providing introductions to books of translation - it seems to me that a translator has a unique opportunity to read and understand works of literature from the inside, and it s that process that I try to share with the readers of my introductory essays.

The list of my translations is rather diverse - but roughly speaking it spans two main areas: classic prose fiction (mostly Russian) and twentieth century poetry (mostly Nordic and Russian).
