Rank 46 of 100
The Brothers Karamazov
Synopsis
Three brothers — a soldier, an intellectual, and a novice monk — circle their grotesque father and the money and women tangled up with him. When the father is murdered, Dostoevsky turns a criminal case into an argument about whether a world this cruel can still be loved.
