That reduces the scope of my argument to a tenth of what it would be. Still we’d better keep to the children, though it does weaken my case. But, in the first place, children can be loved even at close quarters, even when they are dirty, even when they are ugly (I fancy, though, children never are ugly). The second reason why I won’t speak of grown‐up people is that, besides being disgusting and unworthy of love, they have a compensation—they’ve eaten the apple and know good and evil, and they have become ‘like gods.’ They go on eating it still. But the children haven’t eaten anything, and are so far innocent.’SynopsisThis magnificent book, Dostoyevsky's final and best work, relates the dramatic tale of four brothers. When cruel landowner Fyodor Karamazov is killed, the lives of his sons are irrevocably altered: Dmitri the most troublesome as a pleasure-seeking sensualist, Ivan, the depressed academic with mental torments, Alyosha, the kind, honest, and spiritual son and the illegitimate Smerdyakov, who is cunning, silent, and ruthless. They become implicated in the violent murder of their own father, one of the most abhorrent characters in all of literature, driven by passionate passion. Dostoyevsky's final masterpiece, which includes the well-known chapter "The Grand Inquisitor," is a sophisticated character study, a gripping murder mystery, and an intriguing investigation into man's morality and the existence of God.A Stunning Reprint"A stunning reprint" At Ancient Crow Press we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
