The Brothers Karamazov - Enriched edition

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Brothers Karamazov," Fyodor Dostoyevsky masterfully weaves a complex tapestry of philosophical discourse and deep moral inquiry through the narrative of the Karamazov family. Written in a rich, introspective prose style, the novel explores themes of faith, free will, and the nature of evil, set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society. Through the struggles of its characters, notably the passionate yet tormented Ivan, the innocent and philosophical Alyosha, and the conflicted Dmitri, the novel delves into existential questions that resonate through time, reflecting Dostoyevsky's own tumultuous relationship with faith and morality amidst the social upheaval of his era. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was not only a literary giant but also a figure shaped by personal suffering and social critique. His experiences—ranging from his imprisonment in Siberia to grappling with poverty and illness—infused his works with a profound psychological insight. These experiences led him to interrogate the dualities of human nature, which are vividly portrayed in his characters and their philosophical dilemmas. The Karamazov brothers serve as archetypes for the moral battles he perceived in the world around him. Readers are encouraged to engage with "The Brothers Karamazov" for its rich character development and its exploration of enduring philosophical questions. This novel is essential not only for understanding Dostoyevsky's oeuvre but also for anyone seeking profound truths about the human condition, morality, and the quest for meaning in a chaotic world.

Saki's Cats

Saki Saki

Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.
