LibriVox recording of The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
The Brothers Karamazov (Russian: Братья Карамазовы) is the final novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, and is generally considered the culmination of his life's work. The book portrays a parricide in which each of a murdered man's sons share a varying degree of complicity. The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel that explores deep into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, reason, and modern Russia. Since its publication, it has been acclaimed all over the world by thinkers as diverse as Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, and Pope Benedict XVI as one of the supreme achievements in literature.

This book is perhaps the best piece of literature to come out of Russia in the 19th c. Ivan's speech which contains the famed Grand Inquisitor exchange
...
with Jesus Christ is something pulled from eternity by Dostoyevsky. The book has its langours and sometimes the plot wanders, but one can see that the author had intended to write a sequel or 2 focusing on Alyosha.
I've read the Penguin translation and listened to the Librivox Constance Garnett translation and do not find any differences of importance, but I am not an expert. There were moments when I simply shuddered at the genius of Dostoyevsky.
The reader is good, but no one can do justice verbally to the immense cast of characters and their personalities.
In short, one of the top 5 greatest books I've ever read.
But not for everyone. And as an aside a country which can produce such literature is in my opinion a great nation, despite its unfortunate temporary historical byways.

I'd not read the book and doubt if I ever would - huge turgid thing that it is. Loved having it read to me! Enormous project, many thanks.

This story has been way down on my 'bucket list' for 40 years, but never rising up with any urgency. So I am grateful and delighted to discover this well
...
done reading of the Brothers Karamazov which has opened up the complexity and humanness of this novel to me. It reminds me of reading Dr. Zhivago years ago, both books breakthrough to grab the reader no matter what country you come from. And what characters! The large download count is a clue to how good this reading is, just surprised that no one has bothered to come back and review it. (I'm only 1/4 of the way into the book so maybe the readers are not as good further on, I promise to come back and report).
