  Fyodor Dostoyevsky's final novel, considered to be the culmination of his life's work, "The Brothers Karamazov" is the story of the murder of Father Karamazov, whose four sons are all to some degree complicit in the crime. Within the context of this crime story evolves a brilliant philosophical debate of religion, reason, liberty, and the nature of guilt in society. Considered by Sigmund Freud as "The most magnificent novel ever written", the excellent translation of Constance Garnett is presented here in this edition of "The Brothers Karamazov".

  For Now: One Hundred 100-Word...

  John Sheirer’s Stumbling Through Adulthood: Linked Stories showed his immense skill for traditional-length short stories. For Now: One Hundred 100-Word Stories shows equal facility with the microfiction form. These stories range from gentle humor so light it might float off the page in a soft breeze to dense, powerful tales that threaten to sink through the book’s cover and bore directly into the earth’s molten core. “Here, in these finely wrought tales, is a universal current of humanity that connects us all.” – Robert Scotellaro, author of Ways to Read the World. “Unsettling in their precise focus, Sheirer’s brief and crystalline works sharpen the reader’s awareness of the irrevocable. – Gina Barreca, author of They Used to Call Me Snow White, but I Drifted. “With so many big stories in such compact spaces, John Sheirer will titillate and delight you.” – Joshua Michael Stewart, author of Love Something and Break Every String. Sheirer (pronounced Shy-er) narrates his own stories for this audiobook. BONUS MATERIAL: Voice artist Amanda Elgie reads Sheirer's story "Mass" from his award-winning book of longer stories, Stumbling Through Adulthood.
