"I fratelli Karamazov sono il romanzo più grandioso che mai sia stato scritto, (...) Non è certo un caso che tre capolavori di tutti i tempi trattino lo stesso tema, il parricidio: alludiamo all'Edipo re di Sofocle, all'Amleto di Shakespeare e ai Fratelli Karamazov di Dostoevskij. In tutte e tre le opere è messo a nudo anche il motivo del misfatto: la rivalità sessuale per il possesso della donna." (Sigmund Freud)

Prince Lyov Nikolayevitch Myshkin is one of the great characters in Russian literature. Is he a saint or just naïve? Is he an idealist or, as many in General Epanchin's society feel, an "idiot"?

Ricordi della casa dei morti fu scritto al termine della pena scontata da Dostoevskij in Siberia, dopo il 1859, e fu pubblicato tra il 1861 e il 1862. Infatti nel 1849 l’autore venne arrestato per partecipazione a società segreta con scopi sovversivi e condannato a morte, ma lo zar Nicola commutò questa condanna in lavori forzati a tempo indeterminato. Nel 1850 venne quindi deportato in Siberia, nella fortezza di Omsk. Nel febbraio del 1854 venne liberato per buona condotta, scontando il resto della stessa servendo nell'esercito come soldato semplice.

"Kara, in russo, significa 'castigo', 'punizione'; nelle lingue turco-tatare ha invece il significato di 'nero': un cuore oscuro, appesantito dalla colpa, che appartiene a tutti noi, costituisce il nucleo centrale dei Fratelli Karamazov, una delle opere fondamentali della letteratura moderna, un'opera a noi contemporanea nel senso più stretto della parola, perché Dostoevskij vi ha saputo raggiungere le profondità più intime della psiche umana, al di là degli impianti ideologici e degli intenti moraleggianti".
