Publisher Description

Director David Fishelson transforms Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot into spellbinding drama that illuminates both titanic novels.

In The Brothers Karamazov, the passionate brothers spring to life, led by their roué of a father – who entertains himself by drinking, womanizing, and pitting his three sons against each other. The men have plenty to fight over, including the alluring Grushenka.

In The Idiot, we meet the kindly, childlike Prince Myshkin as he returns to the decadent social whirl of 1860s St. Petersburg. The two most beautiful, sought-after women in the city compete for his affections, in a duel that grows increasingly dangerous.

"The singularly most powerful, finely wrought novel ever written. Part mystery, part family melodrama and broad contemplation of God, man, faith, and the human condition. Will make you see the world in a new way. Only a few artistic works, in any medium, in the Western canon can compare."

    " The first time I read this, I thought it would kill me. Now I hold it as a measuring point for other books. And I think it could kill most books in page to page combat. "

    " The Brothers Karamazov, included in Time Magazine's 10 Greatest Books of All Time, proves to be one great reading experience. The large discourse on philosophy, religion is a highlight in this last book of Dostoyevsky. "

    " a very unusual story. there's a lot to read into and a fair amount of social commentary and philosophical implications surrounding the death/murder of the asshole dad. Does god exist? "

    " 300 pages with these dreadful characters was enough. 550 more pages to go.....not for me. I'm done with Dostoyevsky. I'm done with russians as a group. "
