Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” Got it!

dostoyevsky's 'the brothers karamazov'. calls for a revisit every year 🛐
Asked by Rachel Syme
The Brothers Karamazov is quite the investment in time but well worth it.
#1 is Brothers Karamazov, but I've decided that it's hard to parse the cultural stuff to get to why it's great, so I usually recommend #2, which is like unto it, Middlemarch...
Asked by Dan Held
The Brothers Karamazov was also brilliant, but I agree with you on Crime and Punishment. More directly to the point you are referring to.

The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.
This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal
inventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel.
