L'odieux Féodor Karamazov est assassiné. De ses trois fils - Dimitri le débauché, Ivan le savant et l'ange Aliocha - tous ont pu le tuer, tous ont au moins désiré sa mort. Drame familial, drame de la conscience humaine, interrogations sur la raison d'être, de l'homme, tableau de la misère, de l'orgueil, de l'innocence, de la Russie au lendemain des réformes de 1860, orgies, miracles, la richesse de ce roman de Dostoïevski, son dernier et considéré comme son chef-d'œuvre, ne sera jamais épuisée. Le génie de Dostoïevski est à ce point divers que Nabokov a même osé écrire : " N'oublions jamais que Dostoïevski est avant tout un auteur de romans policiers ... un maître du suspens. "
