Fyodor Dostoevsky: The Brothers Karamazov, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Winner of the Pen / Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize
A handsome new collectible edition of Pevear and Volokhonsky's peerless translation of Dostoevsky's masterpiece with a new foreword from Karl Ove Knausgaard.
The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the "wicked and sentimental" Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons-the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Fyodor Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, its social and spiritual strivings, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture. This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal inventiveness of Dostoevsky's prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel.
