"The Brothers Karamazov" is Fyodor Dostoevsky's final, pivotal novel, consolidating all the writer's artistic power and the profound insight of the religious thinker. Although externally structured as a detective story, the novel steps outside its genre boundaries from the very first pages. While we wander through the provincial town of Skotoprigonyevsk and await the answer to the classic question: “Who is the killer?”—the author masterfully lays bare the metaphysics of the Russian soul and poses humanity's central philosophical dilemmas: about faith and free will, God and immortality, and the ultimate purpose of existence. Each of the Karamazov brothers holds his own answer, which defines the course of his life. Do you have an answer?
