It tells the story of intellectual Ivan, sensual Dmitri, and idealistic Alyosha Karamazov, who collide in the wake of their despicable father''s brutal murder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInto the framework of the story Dostoevsky poured all of his deepest concerns--the origin of evil, the nature of freedom, the craving for meaning and, most importantly, whether God exists. The novel is famous for three chapters that may be ranked among the greatest pages of Western literature. \"Rebellion\" and \"The Grand Inquisitor\" present what many have considered the strongest arguments ever formulated against the existence of God, while \"The Devil\" brilliantly portrays the banality of evil. Ultimately, Dostoevsky believes that Christ-like love prevails.
