Summary of this Book...
In The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky expounds on the conflict between Slavophiles and Westernizers, which has existed in Russia since the reign of Tsar Peter the Great in the 18th century. In The Brothers Karamazov, the atheistic, intellectual Ivan represents the Westernizers, while the loving, ascetic Alyosha represents the Slavophiles and/or Russian Orthodox. In Russia these two groups are not only two contradictory value systems, but are also politically different. This is an excerpt of my essay for a University literature class.
This type of Book is good for...
anyone who wants to learn about Russia at the beginning of WWI.
I especially liked...
the description of life of the nobility.
I didn't like...
the way that handicapped people are mistreated and sneer at.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
read more about Russia.
This Book made me feel...
more knowledgeable about Russian history.
The author of this Book...
was a Christian who was jailed for his ideas against the monarchy.
I recommend this Book because...
it is important in Russian literature. There is also a good movie with the same title starring Yul Brynner.
I don't recommend this Book because...
it is sad story on how people are cruel to the handicapped.
