"The Brothers Karamazov" is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving Karamazov and his three sons - the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the social and spiritual strivings in what was both a golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

Upon the untimely death of the brutal Fyodor Karamazov, a dramatic unravelling ensues. The murder of a man who hasived solely, and heedlessly, to satiate himself is hardly tragic, but proves to alter theives of his three sons. The passionate and turbulent Dmitri''s enmity with his father is well-known; the coldly intellectual Ivan realizes that his rationalism has unexpected consequences; the infallible Alyosha strives to keep his faith in the face of conflict. Vastly different, yet bound by circumstance, each must resolve his culpability in the crime. On the surface, the novel grapples with base things; money, rivalry and murder. At a deeperevel, it ponders fundamental questions concerning free will and morality, suffering and forgiveness and, finally, the possibility of redemption in a bleak world. Completed shortly before Dostoyevsky''s death, The Brothers Karamazov is considered to be his richest novel.

Translated by Constance Garnett, with an Introduction by A. D. P. Briggs.As Fyodor Karamazov awaits an amorous encounter, he is violently done to death. The three sons of the old debauchee are forced to confront their own guilt or complicity. Who will own to parricide? The reckless and passionate Dmitri? The corrosive intellectual Ivan? Surely not the chaste novice monk Alyosha? The search reveals the divisions which rack the brothers, yet paradoxically unite them. Around the writhings of this one dysfunctional family Dostoevsky weaves a dense network of social, psychological and philosophical relationships.At the same time he shows - from the opening ''scandal'' scene in the monastery to a personal appearance by an eccentric Devil - that his dramatic skills have lost nothing of their edge. The Karamazov Brothers, completed a few months before Dostoevsky''s death in 1881, remains for many the high point of his genius as novelist and chronicler of the modern malaise.It cast a long shadow over D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus, and other giants of twentieth-century European literature.

Nové vydání jednoho z nejzdařilejších románů nejčtenějšího ruského spisovatele s osmi desítkami ilustrací u nás již dobře známého malíře Michaila Gavričkova. Román Idiot, na němž Dostojevskij pracoval během svého pobytu ve Švýcarsku a v Itálii, kdy procházel tíživou existenční krizí, a který poprvé vyšel v letech 1868–1869, patří bezesporu k jeho nejpozoruhodnějším dílům a vymyká se všem ostatním. A je také dílem nejosobnějším, neboť autor do jeho protagonisty promítl mnohé ze svých nejniternějších existenciálních zážitků a přesvědčení. Dostojevskij si v tomto románu předsevzal „stvořit obraz ideálně krásného člověka“, což sám považoval za úkol vpravdě „kolosální“, ba nemožný, neboť „na světě nemůže být nic obtížnějšího, zvláště v naší době“. Touto ideálně krásnou bytostí je kníže Myškin, postava, která se provždy nesmazatelně zapsala do dějin literatury a která dodnes nepřestává inspirovat a okouzlovat čtenáře na celém světě. Myškin je vnitřně krásný, ctnostný, ušlechtilý, vyrovnaný, ryzí člověk, zcela bezelstný, nevinný, téměř „andělský“. Na rozdíl od mnoha jiných známých autorových postav je zcela prost všech temných vášní, konfliktnosti, žádostivosti a zlých „běsů“. Strádají-li ostatní Dostojevského hrdinové přebytkem smyslnosti, pak Myškin naopak strádá jejím naprostým nedostatkem. Je laskavý, bezmezně soucitný, bytostně dobrý, a jako takový se společnosti, v níž vládne duch cynismu a egoismu, přinejmenším ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Dielo F. M. Dostojevského je nepochybne úprimným výrazom citlivej osobnosti, ktorá musela všetko prežiť a pretrpieť, než bola schopná to vysloviť. Ale Dostojevskij nehovoril len za seba. Jeho ústami nariekali, živorili a milovali nielen milióny ruských ľudí, ale aj milióny čitateľov na celom svete. Drásaná rozpormi sveta vôkol seba i v sebe, často nechápajúco čo ide, prenasledovaná časom, v ktorom "nebolo väčšieho zločinu, než byť bez peňazí a včas nezaplatiť", osobnosť vychádzala z tejto nemilosrdnej dielne doby väčšinou pokrytá ranami, vnútorne krvácajúca a zdeformovaná. A keď sa v jej pekelnom vnútre vzpriečila, bola bez milosti rozdrvená. Tak bola poznamenaná dobou aj geniálna osobnosť Dostojevského a odtiaľ vyviera jej vnútorná rozpoltenosť a duševná nalomenosť. Kniha vychádza v brilantnom preklade slávneho slovenského rusistu Jána Ferenčíka.

Nové ilustrované vydání jednoho z nejvýznamnějších děl zlatého věku ruské literatury s desítkami dosud nepublikovaných obrazů ruského malíře Borise Grigorjeva. Dostojevského román Bratři Karamazovovi, který vyšel česky poprvé již v roce 1894 a dočkal se celkem šesti českých překladů, byl už nedlouho po svém vydání považován za jeden z vrcholů světové literatury a dodnes patří k nejčtenějším dílům vůbec. Na pozadí osudu rodiny Karamazovových, otce a jeho synů, z nichž nejstarší Dimitrij je obviněn z otcovraždy, Dostojevskij rozvíjí a promýšlí nejdůležitější filozofické otázky, které si člověk klade odnepaměti. Nové vydání Dostojevského románu je doplněno unikátní, dosud nepublikovanou sérií šesti desítek ilustrací ruského malíře Borise Grigorjeva (1886–1939), který patří k nejvýraznějším osobnostem ruské malby první poloviny dvacátého století a jehož díla se nacházejí ve sbírkách mnoha muzeí v Rusku i na Západě. Grigorjev byl dobře známý i milovníkům malířství v meziválečném Československu. Pražské veřejnosti se poprvé představil samostatnou výstavou v Mánesu v roce 1926, o šest let později byla jeho díla prezentována ve výstavní síni Francouzského institutu Arnošta Denise ve Štěpánské ulici.

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky's masterful translation of The Idiot is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English. After his great portrayal of a guilty man in Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky set out in The Idiot to portray a man of pure innocence. The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and "be among people." Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.

The most autobiographical novel by the author of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov—and the namesake of Elif Batuman’s debut novel, The Idiot Returning to St Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naïve epileptic Prince Myshkin— known as the “idiot”—pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General and his family. But his life is thrown into turmoil when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated, he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and finally, murder. In Prince Myshkin, Dostoyevsky portrays the purity of “a truly beautiful soul” and explores the perils that innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world.David McDuff's translation brilliantly captures the novel's idiosyncratic and dream-like language and the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative. This edition also contains an introduction by William Mills Todd III, which is a fascinating examination of the pressures on Dostoyevsky as he wrote the story of his Christ-like hero.

Among Dostoevsky''s later novels, The Adolescent occupies a very special place: published three years after The Devils and five years before his final masterpiece, The Karamazov Brothers, the novel charts the story of nineteen-year-old Arkady – the illegitimate son of the landowner Versilov and the maid Sofia Andreyevna – as he struggles to find his place in society and “become a Rothschild” against the background of 1870s Russia, a nation still tethered to its old systems and values but shaken up by the new ideological currents of socialism and nihilism.Both a Bildungsroman and a novel of ideas, dealing with themes such as the relationship between fathers and sons and the role of money in modern society, The Adolescent – here presented in a brand-new translation by Dora O''Brien – shows Dostoevsky at his finest as a social commentator and observer of the workings of a young man''s mind.

Set in mid 19th-century Russia, Demons examines the effect of a charismatic but unscrupulous self-styled revolutionary leader on a group of credulous followers.Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horrified Russians in 1869, Fyodor Dostoevsky conceived of Demons as a “novel-pamphlet” in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land. What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia–a novel that is rivaled only by The Brothers Karamazov as Dostoevsky’s greatest.The award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky continue their acclaimed series of Dostoevsky translations with this novel, also known as The Possessed.

“To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise” – Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from the UndergroundThe darkly fascinating novella Notes From The Underground was written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1864, shortly before he penned his lengthier later novels, including The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment.Considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels it follows the complicated mind of a bitter, retired civil servant (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who lives alone in St. Petersburg, Russia in the mid 19th century.Able to retire after recently inheriting some money, the narrator in full retreat from society has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory rambling narrative that runs the gamut from human morality, to logic and reason and serves as a devastating attack on emerging Western and contemporary Russian philosophy, as well as social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.

Fyodor Dostoevsky''s The Brothers Karamazov is unquestionably one of the greatest works of world literature. With its dramatic portrayal of a Russian family in crisis and its intense investigation into the essential questions of human existence, the novel has had a major impact on writers and thinkers across a broad range of disciplines, from psychology to religious and political philosophy. This proposed reader''s guide has two major goals: to help the reader understand the place of Dostoevsky''s novel in Russian and world literature, and to illuminate the writer''s compelling and complex artistic vision. The plot of the novel centers on the murder of the patriarch of the Karamazov family and the subsequent attempt to discover which of the brothers bears responsibility for the murder, but Dostoevsky''s ultimate interests are far more thought-provoking. Haunted by the question of God''s existence, Dostoevsky uses the character of Ivan Karamazov to ask what kind of God would create a world in which innocent children have to suffer, and he hoped that his entire novel would provide the answer. The design of Dostoevsky''s work, in which one character poses questions that other characters must try to answer, provides a stimulating basis for reader engagement. Having ...

Their scripted mission was to save a local Chicago orphanage; but Aykroyd, who conceived and wrote much of the film, had a greater mission: to honour the then-seemingly forgotten tradition of rhythm and blues, some of whose greatest artists - Aretha Franklin, James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles - made the film as unforgettable as its wild car chases. Much delayed and vastly over budget, beset by mercurial and oft drugged-out stars, The Blues Brothers opened to outraged reviews. However, in the 44 years since it has been acknowledged a classic: inducted into the National Film Registry for its cultural significance, even declared a 'Catholic classic' by the Church itself, and re-aired thousands of times on television to huge worldwide audiences. It is, undeniably, one of the most significant films of the 20th century.The saga behind The Blues Brothers, as Daniel de Vise reveals, is epic, encompassing the colourful childhoods of Belushi and Aykroyd; the comedic revolution sparked by Harvard's Lampoon and Chicago's Second City; the birth and anecdote-rich, drug-filled early years of Saturday Night Live, where the Blues Brothers were born as an act amidst turmoil and ...

TG4 Documentary. ''Na Lumière Gaelacha tells the story of the Horgan Brothers of Youghal, photographic, cinematic and animation pioneers at the time of the Lumière brothers in France.''Through the Lens of Time: The Horgan Brothers'' Ireland 1890-1940Step back in time through the extraordinary photographs of The Horgan Brothers, who captured Ireland during its transformation from British rule to an Independent Republic. From their base in Youghal, these pioneering photographers documented people at work and play—courting kings and exotic travellers, farmers and fishermen along the Blackwater River. They preserved pivotal moments in Ireland''s history: portraits of First World War soldiers who never returned home, volunteer camps, and the political activists who would shape the nation''s destiny. This stunning collection brings their world to life again, offering a remarkable window into an Ireland that was vanishing even as they preserved it on film. Page after page reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary—a hidden time captured by two brothers who knew exactly where to point their lens.

From the author of Poor Ghost comes a poignant road trip novel following two middle-aged brothers, Chris and Andy Fairley, as they attempt an unlikely musical comeback in Japan. Chris and Andy Fairley couldn’t be more opposite—Chris, an uptight, ever-pessimist, and Andy, a go-with-the-flow hopeful. Their glory days seemed long behind them since their moderate success as a folk-rock duo and their relationship with each other fizzled out in the mid-1980s. But when their hit song is unexpectedly chosen for a Japanese car commercial, the men are given one last shot to revive their fame and friendship. They embark on a tour across Japan, but soon find their venues are far from glamorous: a wedding reception where they''re asked to play their hit on repeat, a flower farm gift shop, a windy sculpture park, and a restaurant where customers catch their own fish. As tensions between the brothers rise and a strange reporter begins following them all around the country, the men aren’t sure if the band or their relationship will survive. With echoes of Andrew Sean Greer’s Less, The Fairley Brothers in Japan is a gently comic exploration of aging, family, and belonging. It’s a tale of two brothers, ...
