The best book I’ve ever read.
The Grand Inquisitor chapter is the best chapter I've ever read. I've never taken any university philosophy or literature courses but I imagine they must study this chapter at that level. Such a unique, interesting take on religion and organized religion I've never heard before. I'm not the most well-read person but it was really profound for me.
And trial is so great. It was 150 DENSE pages and I read it in one sitting.
This is only my second book I've read from Dostoyevsky and they're both my all time favorites.
I think the great thing about his novels is that he talks about ideas which everybody has at least thought about but he goes in so much depth that it feels like he's completing your thoughts for you.
'Einstein once declared: “Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss.” Freud too ranked Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov alongside the works of Shakespeare in terms of its literary significance.'
