Hearing this at age 85 after reading it twice in young and middle adulthood may reveal something entirely new. Thank you.
I’m 26 and this is my first exposure to this boom after reading and hearing many great things about it.

Updates?
I think hes saying that sort of thing may reveal something, not that hes done it.
I adore Dostoevsky but I hadn't read this book before. I find it funny that he spent the first chunk of the book roasting the hell out of everyone
He does that on every book but i like how he introduces characters
I don’t have much time lately (and certainly not consistently) to sit down and read. With this audiobook, I am able to listen every time that I do my family’s dish washing. It’s wonderful and for the first time I actually enjoy the mindless chore as I get to work my mind with a wonderful Dostoevsky
Same washing dishes are perfect for audio books
I too enjoy audiobooks while washing dishes, it's been a perfect combo for me
Yup!
Yup! Now I like mudding drywall 😂

Very good narration. I’ve read the book many times and I believe it’s one of the greatest novels ever written.
probably my favorite novel, very moving
When does it get good?
@@vidadr not until around hour 5
@@vidadrdepends how on wdym by good I think part 6 through 13 (where I am at rn) is very interesting
Why is this first hour just explaining so much religion? Where is the story?
Section 14 talks about Gregori’s child who was born with 6 fingers. The name Gregory means watchmen, the watchers were the nephilim, the fallen angels and their offspring‘s were born with six fingers. Interesting side note.
Where did you read that the nephilim were born with 6 fingers?
@@jojones4685 You can start your research with the book of Samuel.
Ooh I knew he was amazing with names, but this, awesome.
@BliboBaggins 2 I find something new every time I read the Bible and I’ve read the Bible a few times.
I was under the understanding that only the earth born children they have,had six fingers.
I took a month to finish it…it’s an epiphany! What a great writer Dostoyevsky is..and kudos to Librivox
An epiphany that took a month? A blinding flash of revelation that lasted 28 days?
The narrator is expert!! Thank you!!
I told myself in 1985 that I would read this after college. In university I stuck to the cliff notes, listened in class and took good notes because I was too slow of a reader to keep up with the reading in those days. I loved the story and wanted to read it myself someday.
I decided it was time to indulge in the whole story. Listening to it now as an Orthodox Christian catechumen makes it even more wonderful to hear the whole story in full.
So well read.
I’ve never read such deep thinking so well articulated as when I read Dostoevsky
You know, I don't like Russians in general. (Call me bigoted, idgaf). But Dostoevsky, dat boi was som'n else, let me tell ya
We melt into the story
I just realized this is a 40 hour book. Lol Bless you for your effort.
😮😮 im still on hour 2 .. i keep coming back to the same spot.. life got busy
Excellent narration. The story is so intricately beautiful and complex it drags us in the author's world.
Thank you so much for sharing this book, with excellent narrator.
Enjoy Fyodor Dostoyevsky melancholic sense of humor.
I like how he expresses in words does inner feelings, thoughts, and actions that I some times experience.
Amazing!! May I be forever be drunk in the words of wisdom?
I’d rather you be sober

This breaks my heart, she only wants Dimitri to know that he can trust her, regardless of his betrayal of her.
That she means something to him.
yet,nothing she does or will ever do will change the fact that he sees her only as a woman and nothing more.
Dostoevsky really had perfect insight into the true nature of men and women.
I particularly love his portrayal of women. Both here, crime and punishment and notes from the underground he portrays women so well.
They come across as so straight forward, so one dimensional at first but then have this delicate way about them that is followed by incredible depth. It’s so powerful and beautiful. I think he truly does justice to women in his portrayal, and to the feminine.
A perfect balance to men’s masculine nature.
Also, the stark contrast between Katerina and Grushenka.
Katerina, so innocently loving.
The way I’m sure Grushenka was before her lover betrayed her, I’m sure she acts as she does bc she feels she has no value and nothing to lose/prove.
Beautiful contrast between what happens when naivety/innocence is taken advantage of.
Not to take the responsibility off of Grushenka, she chose to become what she did, she chose her choices, but generally speaking I think these are very accurate of women and the way women’s heart can mislead, and the illogical sacrifices she is willing to do for that love.
Dostoevsky portrays women with more accuracy and depth than any male writer I’ve ever come across. I love Nastasia Filipova from the Idiot, especially, she’s so complex while simultaneously feeling incredibly real and believable. His insight into human nature floors me whenever I read him
@@josephhernandez9531
yes, I couldn’t agree more. I also love that character, hers was another that brought me to tears by her earnestness, and humility.
After finishing a book by Dostoevsky I find myself missing the characters, I think it goes to show how well he brings them to life.
FD is all about redemption through suffering. The three brothers represent three paths to redemption, and for Dmitri it is to let a good woman tame him so he becomes her protector, not a selfish abuser. When he abandons himself and bows to her he is at peace.
Anyways, best novel ever, whichever layer of it you choose to focus on. I am very interested in the allegories and meta levels in it, but it's damn great even without that. My dad had read it twice on a pretty straight narrative level. Then we talked about the allegories and Bible/Christ/Mary references in it when i came by his house one time, and he immediately started reading it a third time. He got a lot more out of it that time.
This
I don't think I can agree with this assessment of Katerina as innocently loving. On the surface, she probably sees herself this way. But I think Dostoyevsky is portraying a woman who does not really love Mitya, but loves the feeling of martyrdom, or self-sacrifice she gets from committing to him (especially if she is ultimately spurned and insulted). It is a fascinating portrayal of a person, but I don't think a positive one.
It does remind me of the Idiot, with Myshkin caught between Nastasya and Aglaia. There are similarities. But it is also highly contrasting. I think that Myshkin is portrayed as genuinely admiring Nastasya (both her beauty and character) and having compassion toward her. While he is attracted to Aglaia in a more romantic sort of way. Katerina probably prefers Ivan in that way, but ultimately rejects him in favor of Mitya (similar to Myshkin in the Idiot). But her actions don't seem to be coming from a place of compassion. Neither Mitya, nor Ivan interpret it that way. Dostoyevsky describes her as proud, even haughty I think.
Anyways, just my opinion.
I'm just a bumpkin almost 40 years old, and most of my education is self-taught. I can say my western society is strongly lacking in understanding of critical thinking and classical literature. If we taught our youth as we did 100 years ago, teaching Latin and grand works of literature, our world would be much different today.
But as time goes by, I grow more and more to think that it's no mistake.
Yay! Made it through this first part. This is a fascinating tale. Good reader.
Excellent, professional-quality narration.
That's such a great narration. I'm loving the way this is read.
Great reader...what a calm voice, very enjoyable to listen to, thank you!
This man changed the way i view and crtique human nature....
Please tell me more
Also interested to know!
@@charlottecooke3669 listen to the book and you'll get it
I can only agree. And yes, the big books are masterpieces, but even the very short stories he wrote still take on explaining people's minds in a way Freud could only dream of.
@@WideAwakeHuman I read it and I don't get it
I really like the narration in this audiobook. Clear and straightforward. No overacting.

Thank you, Mr Bruce, for reading this book for us! Although it's not the same as reading it, it still does a lot of good to ones brain!! 💕
Thank you so very much for the opportunity of listening to Fyodor dostoevsky audio, I was going to buy this book,how bizarre it found me❤👍
This is brilliantly narrated, and very pleasant to hear.
Ferapont is my favorite due to his cryptic aura. Dostoyevsky did not involve him in the story much which adds onto the character's mystique. Very good audiobook by the way, nicely done.
Thanks to you, you have no idea how much I wanted this
Simply superb
What a beautiful delivery. Wow!
Excellent narration Bruce Pirie. thanks 👍🇨🇦
The voice is excellent! I'm Russian!
I was quite late into my study of the classics when I took up Dostoevsky. Fortunately I still had my primary mentor with me. He advised me to take notes as needed, for Dostoevsky's reputation for complex characters was unsurpassed. I would end up reading The Brothers Karamazov three times. Perhaps it was because I too had two brothers; one older and one younger that I was intrigued my this story. By the third reading I had many notes indeed, along with a story board that kept me focused on this masterpiece of literature. Thank You for this reading.
What other classics can you recommend ?

What about Dimitri the man of life and the world? He is the average man. He is a Russian country boy. We have country boys in like Virginia and shit. How will we reconcile the city boy Ivan's and country boy Dimitris of our age?
This book is great but I’m bad at remembering names normally so having five variations of the same person’s name makes it hard for me to follow at times
Yeah unfortunately that’s just a big part of Fyodor Duncanmeister’s writing
Sofia and sonya got me for a while too
I made a 'cheat sheet' on my bookmark with most of the names for same reason
come on!, it gave you incredble mind level up=|
That’s is a typical Russian way of having numerous variants of the same name depending on the relationship with the person - from very formal to most informal and diminutive.
Fantastic reading!
And I have to say that this is some of the most wholesome comment section I've seen in ages.
Ive been reading the physocal book and then coming here after each "book". Really helps to understand!
Only a short way in and what a brilliant work. Every sentence contains extraordinary intelligence.
Wonderful narration. Thank You so much.
No examples of sentences 'containing extraordinary intelligence'?
As 'every sentence' is that good I'm surprised you haven't repeated a single one of them, to make your 0point.
I agree! I thought this would a difficult read as a result, but it’s very manageable. I feel like every neuron in my brain is stimulated, and Dov is painting a picture with colors I didn’t even know existed, and somehow is painting in 3d.
Thank you, this is amazing!
Glad you like it!
" Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close."
I like the Brothers Karamazov even though it is a long book but it fun to Listen to it
I read this in a Russian Literature class under the tutelage of a Russian professor. Sure wish I would have taken the class more seriously. He pointed out (among many others) that the names of the brothers (and others) in the story have Russian meaning. For example, "Smerdykov" (sp.?) means "smelly," in Russian.
9:33:00 “you love him and the more he insults you the more you love him..Just as he is. You love him because he insults you and if he gave it up you would discard him.. it all comes from pride.”
Wow, that is incredibly insightful, sacrificing yourself through debasement, to feel like a martyr only to yourself.
How concise and true.
How she kept one man on his toes, the one who truly loved her while yearning for the man who didn’t even respect her. Seems very realistic.
Omg I love this book, now I'm going to hear it.. this is awsome
The voice acting is amazing!

I am here because a fellow told me this book convinced him to convert to Orthodoxy. I wonder if, once I've finished it, I too will convert. It seems unlikely.
Great job reading! I loved it ... laughed so hard at times!
Thank you so much. Read it in Russian and was looking for audiobook in English for a while. I will listen it all on your channel.
I am envious that you can read Dostoevsky's literature in its native language
when he said "third wife," I thought, You had me at "third." Riveting, absolutely riveting.

Good voice. Can listen to this.
This is as much a novel as it is a philosophical discussion using fictional characters as a means to present the arguments.

If anyone is wondering, the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is much better as it is closer to the original.

So glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best book of all the times!!!
@@user-zj7bo6on6w I don't think you call one book or even a multiple books the best of all time, but this one's definitely one of the best :)
@@MargaritaMagdalena this is my deep belief. Once Sigmund Freud has said that Brothers Karamazov is the bast novel of all the times putting Don Kihote an Humlet afterwards. I totally agree with this estimation. In Brothers Karamazov there is the most important philosophical question have been set and true ideals from Alesha Karamazov. I’ve notice how similar to the heros of Dostoyevsky has unfolded the life of many people that I know - with the same scenario. Dostoyevsky has said everything in that book and there is a lot to learn about there.
@@user-zj7bo6on6w Okay :)
I read this quite a while ago, listening to this I’m amazed how much I’ve forgot.
Paradox, but the brothers karamazov's book helps foreigners to enjoy and indulge in the whole story while i'm being from russia admire such a amasing insight into humam psychology which you have english speaking guys.

Imagine Shawn from The Good Place as the narrator. Now try to get it out of your head as you listen.
whose translation is better? constance garnett or richard pevear? because i read crime and punishment translated by constance garnett and i really enjoy it. but for brothers karamazov most people recommend richard pevear's
This recording is from the Constance Garnett translation.
@@jmardian7895 yeah i guess i'll stick with garnett's translation. saw a lot of criticism toward pervear's work
Should the description indicate whose translation you are using (Constance Garnett?)
no issues one has many options to compare - helps if one can decide from the descriptions without having to play all. in any case i picked a different option, 2/3 through, enjoying. has anyone found a full version of the russian movie with english subtitles - it’s well casted
Yes Constance Garnett. He says it several times
It's read well :-)
Translated by Constance Garnett is not in the description.
It follows the Constance Garnett translation pretty closely.
