Fyodor Karamazov is found dead one night. An epicurean and a compulsory liar, he was not a good father either. Therefore, his death raises the question of parricide. It could be any of his sons, as all seem to have their own reasons to get rid of him. It could be anybody else too. But who? The Brothers Karamazov is a superb murder mystery. This is, however, just one of its qualities and merely the opening of an impassable labyrinth. Not only does Dostoyevsky skilfully initiate in it profound philosophical and theological debates, exploring themes such as the existence of God, free will, and the nature of evil but he also deeply examines the conflict between human freedom and divine authority.

One of the best novels in history, The Brothers Karamazov is a rich and thought-provoking exploration of faith, doubt, and the human condition, leaving readers with profound questions about the essence of life and morality. Serialized in The Russian Messenger in 1879 and 1880, it was published in the book form a few months before Dostoyevsky s death in February 1881.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow on November 11, 1821. He is known for his profound understanding of human psychology and his ability to bring forth the darkest realms of human nature. Dostoyevsky inspired a number of modern movements including Existentialism, literary criticism and many schools of psychology and theology. He influenced a number of modern philosophers and writers including Anton Chekov, George Orwell and Jean-Paul Sartre. He is best known for his novels Notes from Underground (1864), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (serialized from 1868 to 1869) The Possessed or otherwise known as Demons (serialised from 1871 to 1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (serialised from 1879 to 1880). Dostoyevsky died on February 9, 1881 at the age of 59, in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
