Regarded as one of mankind's most profound and complex novels, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒐𝒗 explores and addresses core issues of the human realm such as religious belief and a sense of absolute bewilderment; despair in the face of pervasive evil and the finiteness of human life; the burden of free will, the difficulty of staying religious in the face of a grim indifference, injustice, lack of magic and the inherent connection of responsibility and morality among many individuals.

𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 was the first outstanding book of Dostoevky, Karamazov was the last and arguably the pinnacle of his work. This book is long, massive in theory (much heavier than 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕), and there are a lot of parts wherein the characters talk while being drunk, frivolous, or delirious. Many chapters discuss theology, countless words to glance, which is incessantly absorbed. Personally, I find 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 more literary compelling, while Karamazov is more ideologically ambitious. Both books showcase Dostoevsky's masterful talent for observing and portraying nuances, mystery, contradiction, confusion, chaos in human psychology and nature.
