I am an Indian who is interested in Western literature too. And I read for happiness, not for my bread and butter. Besides the English literature, I have had the pleasure of coming in contact with the greatest who did not write in English and were translated. But for Dostoyevsky, and none else, I had to buy 5 different translations starting from Julius Katzer of USSR days to Richard and Larissa, the last and best translators of this gargantuan human achievement.
My recommendation, after readi...

Wow..!! thats really one worth novel to buy if you are avid reader.The timely delivery of flipkart was awesome and no wonder the quality of book is exceptional as it is from penguin books india. Though a bulky one which scares shit out of the reader before proceeding, but for sure as one turns chapter to chapter a sort revelation comes over and we end up wondering how the pages just swayed. A little confusing at the inception stage but will keep the reader transfixed and just perfect for thos...

First of all I would love to thank for this beautiful service provided by flipkart. Just marvelous delivery that too before the scheduled delivery date. And awesome packaging.
This review is for the Penguin version of Brothers Karamazov translated by McDuff. I'm writing the review only after completing the introduction but what I'm gonna say is: the hype is already been set in motion in the intro of this great masterpiece. Love Dostoevsky and his works.

NOTE: THIS REVIEW WAS INTENDED TO BE POSTED FOR THE REVIEW OF THE "WILCO CLASSIC" EDITION ONLY.
I would like to divide my review into two parts.
First part will deal with “Dostoevsky’s way of writing”
Second part will deal with the “Physical quality of this edition”
Part one- as we all know, dostoevsky is sometimes compared with tolstoy. so we know the way they wrote their books. both write long lines which coveys more than two ideas at the same time. both have writen books that run 1000s o...

Good quality and original, just a few cracks and damages around the corners and sides but other than that 👍

This is one of the finest books which I have read. The father and his three+one sons show all the human characteristics.The author goes deeply into the hidden parts of the human mind through his characters.Only after reading five or more times we can understand the whole essence of this wonderful masterpiece, I think so.

Finest quality recieved.

If you are into russian novels or thinking about trying one then this could be the one. Besides the english is not for beginners plus the fact that it is approx. 900 pages novel, you might get detached easily. Hence only pick this one if your english is good. Overall, story is amazing, quality is good as well. And fyodor's storytelling is beautiful.

Very good 👍

Iam so excited to read it, I know its a masterpiece.
Highly recommended.
