What it's about

Fyodor Karamazov, a coarse and greedy father, is murdered, and each of his sons has a share in the guilt: passionate Dmitri, who is put on trial; Ivan, the intellectual who doubts God; and Alyosha, the gentle novice. Dostoevsky's last novel is a murder mystery and a courtroom drama, and it holds his great debates on faith and freedom, including Ivan's tale of the Grand Inquisitor. Complete, in Garnett's translation.
