Brothers Karamazov is considered one of the greatest and most profound Russian novels of all time. But what’s is story? Why is it important? What are the three main philosophies discussed? What was Dostoevsky’s purpose in writing it? And why Vladimir Putin calls it his favourite novel? And what are some of its weaknesses? And finally what’s it really about?

This is a summary and analysis of the Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Often called his magnum opus, Brothers Karamazov was Dostoevsky’s last novel—published one year before his death in 1881, but it’s also his longest novel, almost twice the length of his other famous novel Crime and Punishment, which I have already summarised here. First I will give a full summary and then give a few points of analysis, mainly the three major philosophies that run through the novel. At the end I will tell you Dostoevsky’s main purpose in writing this novel, which might surprise you.
