Description :
Fyodor Dostoevsky's crowning life work,
The Brothers
Karamazov , stands among the greatest novels in world literature. His
exploration of faith, doubt, morality, and the place of suffering in life are
equaled in no other work of literature, save the Bible.The book explores the
possible role of four brothers in the unresolved murder of their father, Fyodor
Karamazov. At the same, it carefully explores the personalities and inclinations
of the brothers themselves. Their psyches together represent the full spectrum
of human nature, and continuum of faith and doubt. Ultimately this novel seeks
to understand the real meaning of existence and includes much beneficial
philosophical and spiritual discussion that moves the reader towards faith.This
new abridgment done exclusively for Hovel Audio by Russian Studies scholar
Thomas Beyer keeps the important religious themes of the novel intact. It is an
excellent way for the admirer of Dostoevsky to refresh himself, or to introduce
Dostoevsky to a friend who has yet to experience the joy of reading his
works.Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) writes with a passion and keen insight of
biblical grace like no other modern novelist. His works
Crime and
Punishment and
The Idiot testify to his great skill.
The Brothers
Karamazov has been hailed by readers for over a century as one of the finest
achievements in all of western literature.
Thomas R. Beyer is Professor of Russion at Middlebury College in
Vermont. He holds three degrees in Slavic Literature including a Ph.D. from the
University of Kansas. In his decades of teaching, Tom Beyer has read
The
Brothers Karamazov dozens of times. His abridgment of the novel for Hovel
Audio shows his thorough knowledge of his subject.
