Dostoevsky. "The Brothers Karamazov"

This is the final book and a peculiar culmination of the writer's entire creative path. In it, he reflected everything that he thinks about man and the world in which man lives. In the center of the narrative are three brothers, who have very different attitudes with the world, and with the Supreme Creator. Too much controversy was tied into the plot of his novel by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. The Karamazov brothers are in the very center of a multidimensional knot of contradictions boiling in the quiet provincial town of Skotoprigonievsk. The town, as it turns out, lives by the principle: in the quiet pool the devils are found. But devils are found in the souls of people. And one of the key phrases of the novel is the maximum of Karamazov the elder: "Since there is no God, then everything is allowed." And Karamazov's father is guided in his life by this very principle, according to which he accepts death at the hands of one of his sons. The storyline of the novel is based on the murder of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, and this detective intrigue slowly unwinds Dostoevsky before the reader. The Karamazov brothers are among the suspects in this crime, which has stirred up a quiet town. Of course, detective intrigue here is nothing more than a structural framework on which the ingenious image of Russia is based. He clearly reads in the novel, it clearly shows something more than a flash of passion against the background of the murder of an old drunkard in a provincial village. But especially impressive is the denouement, to which the effect of Dostoevsky.

But Fyodor Mikhailovich was murdered by the brother of Karamazov, the younger. This character passes through the whole novel as a lackey Smerdyakov. The fact that he is the fourth son of the deceased, is unknown to anyone, and he calculated his crime very competently. All the evidence converges against Dmitry Karamazov and those few who know the truth can not prove it.
