Seeing that Alyosha Karamazov put his fingers in his ears when they talked of "that," they used sometimes to crowd round him, pull his hands away, and shout nastiness into both ears, while he struggled, slipped to the floor, tried to hide himself without uttering one word of abuse, enduring their insults in silence.
In that respect he was a striking contrast to his elder brother Ivan, who struggled with poverty for his first two years in the university, maintained himself by his own efforts, and had from childhood been bitterly conscious of living at the expense of his benefactor.
He was extremely interested in his brother Ivan, but when the latter had been two months in the town, though they had met fairly often, they were still not intimate.

 Brothers Karamazov Essays - Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov
Fyodor Karamazov becomes the first character presented in the novel, whose vulgar and ill-natured personality quickly erase any sympathy of his grizzly murder.
Like Karamazov, who did not care or raise his three children so that he may continue his dissolute life, the Russian government does likewise in shunning their children, the Russian peasants, to live a materialistic life.
The attack upon the government by means of the elder Karamazov becomes so vicious that his death does not come as a surprise but as a blessing.

The novel begins with introduction of the three Karamazov brothers (there is one other bastard son, but he is largely in the background), Alexei, Dmitry, and Ivan.
The Brothers Karamazov is a masterpiece of Russian literature.
Karamazov has parables (The Grand Inquisitor is a benchmark of atheist philosophy), numerous characters (who are often called by their patronyms and their first names, or both at the same time, so beware), is polyphonic, and often times tedious.

Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov was the third son of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, a landowner in our district who became a celebrity (and is remembered to this day) because of the tragic and mysterious end he met exactly thirteen years ago, which will be described in its proper place.
The Brothers Karamazov are some of the most *intensely intense* and violent and unpredictable and spiritually tortured a group of boys you're likely ever to meet in literature.
While the murder of their father, Fyodor Karamazov, is the catalyst to the real action of the book, it is certainly not the central focus -- a fact that might be surmised in light of the fact that the murder is not carried out until more than halfway through the text.

 Film Score Monthly.COM: Online Store
One of the The Brothers Karamazov's most enthusiastic fans was its composer, Bronislau Kaper, who had been captivated by the novel as a child and had regretted his inability to score a 1931 production while in Berlin.
By 1958 Kaper was one of M-G-M's top composers in Hollywood, and fulfilled his ambition by providing the Brooks film with a rich and varied dramatic score, drawing upon gypsy melodies but also Prokofiev as a symphonic model for 19th century Russia.
This premiere CD of The Brothers Karamazov features the complete underscore followed by bonus tracks of source music -- various folk tunes recorded by Kaper, as well as gypsy dances recorded on the film's set.

ALEXEY Fyodorovitch Karamazov was the third son of Fyodor Pavlovitch Karamazov, a landowner well known in our district in his own day, and still remembered among us owing to his gloomy and tragic death, which happened thirteen years ago, and which I shall describe in its proper place.
For the present I will only say that this "landowner"- for so we used to call him, although he hardly spent a day of his life on his own estate- was a strange type, yet one pretty frequently to be met with, a type abject and vicious and at the same time senseless.
HE was only twenty, his brother Ivan was in his twenty-fourth year at the time, while their elder brother Dmitri was twenty-seven.

 U2 Feedback - The Brothers Karamazov
Their father is a worthless piece of shite who drinks and still chases after women half his age, etc. The three main characters, the 3 brothers, each have distinct personalities...Ivan is a cynic and agnostic, Alyosha is spiritual and loving, Dmitri is impetuous and sensual.
The main plot is that Dmitri and his father are both in love with the same woman and when she runs off with another man entirely, the elder Karamazov is murdered and Dmitri is taken to trial for it.
That's about as far as I am in the book, but I know that the second half deals with the trial and the motivations that each brother had to kill their father...and ultimately how they are all responsible, even if they didn't do the actual deed.

This is a huge, sprawling novel about a troubled family in czarist Russia.

 The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky - Mobipocket eBook
Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel, The Karamazov Brothers (1880), is both a brilliantly told crime story and a passionate philosophical debate.
The dissolute landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered; his sons--the atheist intellectual Ivan, the hot-blooded Dmitry, and the saintly novice Alyosha--are all at some level involved.
Bound up with this intense family drama is Dostoevsky's exploration of many deeply felt ideas about the existence of God, the question of human freedom, the collective nature of guilt, the disastrous consequences of rationalism.
