Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Aus dem Inhalt: Genesis and Background: The Brothers Karamazov in Dostoevsky's Life -- The Story of the Writing of The Brothers Karamazov -- Early Versions of Aspects of The Brothers Karamazov -- Literary Sources of The Brothers Karamazov -- Connections with Earlier Works -- Prototypes -- Dostoevsky's Notebooks -- Contemporary Critical Reactions -- The Brothers Karamazov as a Public Event -- Personal Idiosyncrasies -- Ideas in The Brothers Karamazov: The Brothers Karamazov as an Allegory -- The Brothers Karamazov as a Theodicy -- The Theme of Fathers and Children -- The Brothers Karamazov as a Social Novel -- Moral and Religious Philosophy in The Brothers Karamazov -- The Brothers Karamazov as a Psychological Novel -- Narrative Technique: The Polyphonic Composition of The Brothers Karamazov -- Subtexts -- Narrative Structure -- Language -- Symbolism -- COMMENTARY: The Characters of the Novel -- From the Author. - The text of The Brothers Karamazov is removed from the American reader not only by a full century but also by linguistic and cultural boundaries. Victor Terras' companion work will help the English language reader to gain a richer understanding of the Dostoev-sky novel as the expression of a philosophy of life and a work of art. The Companion provides the reader with the information needed for a sophisticated reading of the novel (based on the Matlaw-Garnett translation of the W. W. Norton Critical Edition of The Brothers Karamazov). A three-part introduction deals with the genesis, the main ideas, and the structural peculiarities of the novel. The introduction, which gives the reader a key to understanding Dostoevsky's political, philosophical, and aesthetic position at the writing of the novel, also suggests what the author was trying to accomplish in writing it and what devices he used to attain his ideological and artistic objectives. The commentary itself explains details of Russian life, of the novel's sociopolitical background, and of various polemic issues, as they appear in the text. Hundreds of literary quotations and allusions are identified and explained, as are hundreds of biblical quotations. Attention is drawn to Dostoevsky's complicated novelistic strategy which involves deep ambiguities, subtle irony, and a polyphonic treatment of the voices which are heard in the novel. Pecularities of Dostoevsky's style are pointed out and an effort is made to recover significant stylistic effects that are lost in the English translation. Terras also draws attention to symbols, recurrent images, and structural and stylistic patterns. The book contains a bibliography, a list of dramatis personae, and a detailed index of names and subject matter. (Verlagstext). ISBN 9780299083106 - , ISBN: 0299083101

Cicovacki, Predrag / Granik, Maria (Hg.): Dostoevsky's 'Brothers Karamazov'. Art, Creativity, and Spirituality. (Beiträge zur slavischen Philologie 16). Heidelberg: Winter 2010.
This volume combines essays by well-established scholars of Dostoevsky with those by newer voices; it brings together authors from several different countries (France, Germany, USA, Russia, England) representing varying traditions of approaching Dostoevsky's novels; most importantly, however, it is the first collection that crosses the often too rigid lines between philosophy and literature. While there have been a number of attempts to re-establish a significant dialogue between literature and philosophy in recent years, virtually no cross-disciplinary studies of Dostoevsky have been attempted. This absence of interdisciplinary literature is remarkable given that Dostoevsky is often acknowledged to be a leading 'novelist of ideas.' There is no better place to begin such a collaborative effort than Dostoevsky's last novel, 'The Brothers Karamazov', which Freud called "the greatest novel ever written.
