The Brothers Karamazov

Finally got to the end with this brick of a novel. A typical Dostoevsky. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong for Dimitry Karamazov who does not get along with his father in the first place when they even start to chase the same woman. Lots of Unlucky love and philosophizing about religion, human behavior, Russia and so on and so forth.

Maybe an over interpretation but I immediately thought Father Zosima to be Dostoyevsky himself who sends Alyosha to the world to spread love and forgiveness. I found the last chapter of the epilogue to be a very powerful farewell.
