Publisher Description
Unarguably Dostoyevsky's greatest work, 'The Brothers Karamazov' is that rare work that manages to integrate heavy and nuanced philsophical and contemplative matters such as human passion and emotion, the nature of evil, the nature of man, and God, without compromising on its core plot, which is a murder mystery that pulls three brothers into its drama and intrigue.
As you read the story, you will find yourself exposed to not only some heavy and eye opening meditations on various subjects that may broaden your horizons, but also one of the most suspenseful and thrilling murder mystery yarns ever, populated with some of the most real and grounded characters in all of literature.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The depth, complexity, and length of what many consider to be Dostoyevski's best work make it one of the hardest classic novels to bring to audio. The philosophical novel/murder mystery set in 19th-century Russia requires a strong and versatile narrator to keep listeners going for the day-and-a-half-plus duration. Thankfully, narrator Constantine Gregory masters the challenge. In doing so, he manages the omniscient third-person narration by using a pleasant mellifluous tone that invites the listener to relax and approach the text patiently and carefully. The novel also features first-person voices from the large cast of characters, such as Father Zosima, who, naturally enough, argues for the existence of a higher power and Gregory is able to imbue those sections with enough individuality to make them as distinct as the author intended.
