Description

Introduction by Malcolm Jones; Translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky

Memorable Quotes

  • “I am glad that at such a moment my young man turned out to be not so reasonable; the time will come for an intelligent man to be reasonable, but if at such an exceptional moment there is no love to be found in a young man's heart, then when will it come”
  • “You Know, boys," Aloysha said, "you needn't be afraid of life! Life is so good when you do something that is good and just.”
    Alexei Karamazov

First Sentence

ALEKSEI FYODOROVICH KARAMOZOV was the third son of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, a landowner of our district, extremely well known in his time (and to this day still remembered in these parts) on account of his violent and mysterious death exactly thirteen years ago, the circumstances of which I shall relate in due course.
