"The Brothers Karamazov" is Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky's last novel, considered one of his four masterpieces together with "Crime and Punishment" (1866), "The Idiot" (1869), and "Demons" (1871). Set in 19th-century Russia, this philosophical novel explores the questions of God, morality, and free will set to the backdrop of a rapidly modernising Russia. It was initially released as a serial in "The Russian Messenger" between January 1879 and November 1880. Dostoevsky died shortly after its publication.
