THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV Bicentennial Edition

Ben Miles does an exceptional job narrating Dostoevsky's masterpiece. The novel revolves around the three Karamazov brothers and their father. It includes many of the themes found in the author's other works: murder, courtroom drama, toxic relationships, sensuality, as well as some of Dostoevsky's most profound and deepest philosophical and theological ideas. The Karamazovs are seemingly different from each other, but they have much in common, as well. Miles's English accent is perfect for the text of this recent, award-winning translation. He delivers narrative sections in a consistent tone, and his expression is perfect. Dialogues and monologues are given subtly different voices with different English accents to show the class of the speaker. An excellent match of voice and text.
