THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV

Coordinators: Sheryl Harawitz, Andrea Irvine, Ellie Schaffer, Ellen Shapiro

Our study group will dive into the complex world of Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, a masterpiece that explores the intricacies of faith, doubt, and morality through the lives of the Karamazov family.

Join us as we unravel the philosophical debates and emotional conflicts that drive this epic story offering insights not only into 19th-century Russia, but also the eternal questions at the heart of human existence.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Dostoevsky, this group promises a rich exploration of one of literature’s greatest novels.

We recommend the Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, edition translated and annotated by Richard Pavear and Larissa Volokhonsky.
