Los hermanos Karamazov, fue publicada en 1880, constituyendo la ultima entrega del escritor y, para muchos, la cumbre de su genio narrativo. Narra la historia de un parricidio pero, como siempre en Dostoievski, hay un trasfondo moral en forma de conflicto, en este caso las partes enfrentadas son la fe, con su contrapartida la duda, el racionalismo y el libre albedrio. Por otra parte, cada uno de los hermanos Karamazov encarna una tendencia ideologica caracteristica de aquella Rusia azotada ya por vientos de cambio, preludio de la agitacion politica que desembocara en la revolucion de 1917. Dimitri representa la oscura Rusia tradicional, con los pies firmemente asentados en la Edad Media; Ivan, por el contrario, es la imagen de la nueva Rusia, occidentalizada y nihilista; Aliosha suena con un futuro idealizado. La narracion arranca en la juventud de los principales protagonistas: Dimitri, personaje contradictorio, en permanente oscilacion entre el bien y el mal, acaba de retirarse, a los 29 anos, del ejercito, en el cual servia como oficial; Ivan tiene 28 anos y ostenta el estatuto de estudiante; Alioscha, a los 19 anos, ha decidido entrar en un convento. El denominador comun entre los tres hermanos es el menosprecio por su padre, un terrateniente bestial y corrupto. Si bien los dos mayores lo detestan hasta desear verlo muerto, el menor lo trata con distancia pero ajustandose a los preceptos que la religion impone. Hay todavia un cuarto hermano, Smerdiakov, servil y demente. Es el quien cometera materialmente el asesinato del padre, aunque incitado por Ivan. Sera, sin embargo, Dimitri el acusado y, en consecuencia, detenido. Ivan se halla al corriente de la identidad del verdadero asesino pero guarda silencio, dejando que aquel sea condenado a perpetuidad a trabajos forzados en Siberia. Cuatro meses despues de poner punto final a la obra, fallece Dostoievski, sin poder concretizar la proyectada continuacion de esta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Fyodor Dostoyevsky's powerful meditation on faith, meaning and morality, The Brothers Karamazov is translated with an introduction and notes by David McDuff in Penguin Classics. When brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov is murdered, the lives of his sons are changed irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, whose mental tortures drive him to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother Smerdyakov. As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky's dark masterpiece evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested. This powerful translation of The Brothers Karamazov features and introduction highlighting Dostoyevsky's recurrent themes of guilt and salvation, with a new chronology and further reading. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was born in Moscow. From 1849-54 he lived in a convict prison, and in later years his passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His other works available in Penguin Classics include Crime & Punishment, The Idiot and Demons."
