Is The Karamazov Brothers Dostoevsky.s Magnus Opus?
Being an admirer of Russian literature, and Dostoevsky in particular, it's my turn to read Karamazov.
I've read about 300 pages by now, and I must confess that so far I'm a little disappointed. If Crime and Punishment seemed to me a captivating masterpiece, of perfect complexity and balance, on the other hand Karamazov.., which is Dostoevsky's last book and considered by most his Magnum Opus, has a melodramatic and absurd style, the heroes seem to be making a storm in a teacup, because they have too much free time to go astray. It makes you think of a russian soap opera.
I'm trying to maintain my patience to reach the climax, to see what else happens. I'm writing this because I'm curious to know your perspective on this book. All the best!
