The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoevsky's last and most difficult novel. This is Dostoevsky's most vivid attempt to create a literary work expressing both the hopes and contradictions of his time and the eternal enduring values ​ ​ enclosed in the Christian tradition. The book of V. Vetlovskaya is devoted to the fictional narrator, the author's attitude to the words of the hero (the concept of authority, authority and compromise of general opinions), plot and composition in this novel.
