{"product_id":"the-brothers-karamazov-9780553212167","title":"The Brothers Karamazov","description":"In 1880 Dostoevsky completed \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e, the literary effort for which he had been preparing all his life. Compelling, profound, complex, it is the story of a patricide and of the four sons who each had a motive for murder: Dmitry, the sensualist, Ivan, the intellectual; Alyosha, the mystic; and twisted, cunning Smerdyakov, the bastard child. Frequently lurid, nightmarish, always brilliant, the novel plunges the reader into a sordid love triangle, a pathological obsession, and a gripping courtroom drama. But throughout the whole, Dostoevsky searhes for the truth--about man, about life, about the existence of God. A terrifying answer to man's eternal questions, this monumental work remains the crowning achievement of perhaps the finest novelist of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFyodor Dostoevsky's life was as dark and dramatic as the great novels he wrote. He was born in Moscow in 1821, and when he died in 1881, he left a legacy of masterworks that influenced the great thinkers and writers of the Western world and immortalized him as a giant among writers of world literature.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bantam Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50592501956882,"sku":"9780553212167","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f91b6afc-2d8b-4666-9000-835794eece2e.jpg?v=1765972030","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-brothers-karamazov-9780553212167","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
