This was Dostoyevsky's last work and as the author himself forewords, indeed an expression of all that he had wanted to say. On the face, it is a murder mystery of a notorious father. But on the inside, it is a extensive collection of philosophical thoughts and, something which the author excels in, psychological analyses of human behavior. This is a book about human passion and the resulting ambitions. The infamous father and his three sons all are samples from the spectrum of human behavior which also characterize the modern Russia of those times. What I always enjoy in Dostoyevsky's works are his philosophies and obsession with the darker sides of human psyche, which results in crimes like the one which is central to the story here. There are scores of pages, where through the characters in the story, the author pens down his system of thoughts and ideas related to themes like human free will, existence of God and morality. They are really interesting to read and very clear to comprehend. It ends with a really thorough court drama, which portrays the society's position relative to crime, punishment and the notions of justice. It is a lofty venture (easy but a long read) and I loved it.

Es un excelente libro que sin duda se debe leer con mucho detenimiento. La manera en como Dostoievski muestra la psicología de los personajes hace que puedas comprender su forma de actuar; las reflexiones y la filosofía del libro se ven muy presentes en los capitulos, en las situaciones de los personajes, en las historias secundarias que se narran, etc
No fue una lectura sencilla, me llevó poco más de un mes, pero sin duda se ha vuelto uno de mis libros favoritos. Todo radica en los personajes, y como ya mencioné, están muy bien trabajados en cuanto a su psicología
