Description
What is free will? Is redemption possible? Can logic help us answer moral questions? Renowned Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky tackles all of these topics and many more in this remarkable novel, widely regarded as one of the classic masterpieces of literature. Follow the Karamazov family through the travails that transpire after the murder of their father, and expand your intellectual horizons with a work that celebrated thinkers such as Einstein, Freud, and Pope Benedict XVI cite as one of their favorites.

Classics fans will find that despite moving the setting from Russia to Wisconsin, making the family Chinese American, and adding dark humor, The Family Chao retains many parallels to The Brothers Karamazov, including a climactic trial that bares family secrets. -- Michael Shumate

Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy, arguably the two greatest Russian writers ever, are not interchangeable: Tolstoy's prose is more accessible, and Dostoyevsky's ruminations are drearier. But they have a great deal in common: with gripping characters and profound insights, they explore universal human themes such as religion, family, and freedom. -- Jessica Zellers
Robert Musil, an admirer of the 19th-century Russian novelists, makes a worthy next read for fans of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Musil's depiction of pre-World War I Habsburg Empire society is as vivid as Dostoyevsky's portraits of life in Romanov Russia. Both are masters of character analysis and insight. -- Michael Shumate
Literary novelists Hanya Yanagihara and Fyodor Dostoyevsky prize psychological insight into their complex, flawed, even unlikable characters, rendering psychic trauma and moments of selfless generosity and sacrifice with equal honesty. Episodes of emotional suffering will challenge and disturb readers but also leave them feeling deeply invested in the characters. -- Michael Shumate
