The Brothers Karamazov

Dostoevsky's final work - a novel about the main questions of the world, hidden behind a detective plot. Here, vice opposes holiness, anguish - meekness, and a child's tear - the authoritative Karamazovism.

«The Main Books of Russian Literature» - a joint series by the publishing house «Alpina.Proza» and the internet project «Polka». The works published in it are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary scholars, and educators. This is both an attempt to define what the Russian literary canon looks like today and a new perspective on well-known works: each book is accompanied by a preface from the authors of «Polka».
