The Brothers Karamazov, a passionate philosophical novel completed only a few months before his death, is Fyodor Dostoyevsky's most expansive, life-embracing work.

The plot centers on a murder and is infused with moral issues and human nature at its most loathsome and cruel, in particular, that of collective guilt. This life-embracing work exploring love, lust, greed, jealousy, and sorrow, enters deeply into the ethical questions of God, free will, and morality.
