A brilliant, profound piece of philosophical work. As much as it does explore religion and god, the closer I got to the end the more I felt like it was even more so about human nature – russian nature, the russian condition.
Maybe the point in my life at which I read The Brothers Karamazov enabled me to interact with this book the way I did. This novel is a lot to take in. It presents many different perspectives on life and death and god and justice, and not all of them are supposed to be agreed with. However, all of them are written in a way that at least makes you consider them: they are realistic, they make sense and you see where the characters are coming from.
I think The Brothers Karamazov is a book worth reading for anyone. However, I believe there is much less to take away from it without sufficient knowledge and/or interest in russian culture.
