The Brothers Karamazov: A Norton Critical Edition

By: Fyodor Dostoevsky

"Michael Katz's nimble translation combines readability with accuracy and is particularly good at conveying humor and the characters' idiolects. The superb critical essays help make this the ideal edition for students and general readers alike, and especially for those seeking a deeper understanding of how Dostoevsky's quarrel with himself--played out through the novel's interrogation of spiritual, intellectual, and earthly powers--marks him, for both good and ill, as our contemporary."

--ANDREW REYNOLDS, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"This volume offers a vibrant new translation by Michael Katz, which preserves the tonality of Dostoevsky's original whilst remaining accessible to the contemporary reader. It is accompanied by contextual apparatus designed to support students and nonspecialists, together with a selection of critical pieces by some of the leading names in Dostoevsky scholarship, providing a rounded perspective on the lasting significance of Dostoevsky's final masterpiece."

--SARAH HUDSPITH, University of Leeds
