Details
And now, the culmination of our three-year classics reading plan... The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Rightfully, we began our project with The Devils and so we conclude with the same author's final novel about faith and doubt -a book with over 4600 editions in every language. 47,000 people are currently reading TBK (per Goodreads); let's join them and see if you can discover the author's viewpoint amongst the four Brothers K.
