作者通过一个家族的悲欢离合对人性进行了淋漓尽致的挖掘。
James Joyce noted that [Leo] Tolstoy admired him but he thought that he had little artistic accomplishment or mind. Yet, as he said, 'he admired his heart', a criticism which contains a great deal of truth, for though his characters do act extravagantly, madly, almost, still their basis is firm enough underneath... The Brothers Karamazov... made a deep impression on me... he created some unforgettable scenes [detail]... Madness you may call it, but therein may be the secret of his genius... I prefer the word exaltation, exaltation which can merge into madness, perhaps. In fact all great men have had that vein in them; it was the source of their greatness; the reasonable man achieves nothing.
本书是陀思妥耶夫斯基的代表作之一。通过一桩真实的弑父案,描写老卡拉马佐夫同三个儿子即两代人之间的尖锐冲突。老卡拉马佐夫贪婪好色,独占妻子留给儿子们的遗产,并与长子德米特里为一个风流女子争风吃醋。一天黑夜,德米特里疑心自己的情人去跟老头儿幽会,便闯入家园,一怒之下,差点把老头儿砸死。他仓皇逃离后,躲在暗中装病的老卡拉马佐夫的私生子斯乜尔加科夫悄然杀死老爷,造成了一桩震惊全俄的扑朔迷离的血案,从而引发了一连串惊心动魄的事件。作品展示一个错综复杂的社会、家庭、道德和人性的悲剧主题,体现了高超艺术手法。
