This Penguin Classic is performed by Luke Thompson, best known for his role in the hit Netflix drama Bridgerton. This definitive recording includes an introduction by David McDuff.

A deep, complex examination of the crucial philosophical questions of human existence, from one of the world's most renowned novelists

'The mystery of human existence lies not in staying alive, but in finding something to live for'

The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur, and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

Translated with an Introduction and notes by DAVID McDUFF

What a performance! The voice actor has completely immersed himself with all of these characters, even the unimportant ones. It's as though he understands their souls. The characterization he gives for each character is unbelievably accurate. I felt like I was watching a movie throughout my reading. Beautiful work!

The voice acting is incredible!

This audiobook is 43 hours long, yet doesn’t feel it. At times, the story tends to lag but it’s a good one, further improved by the narration. The narrator breathes life into each character and gives them unique accents and vocal tics. You can always tell who’s talking, which helps while multitasking.

Immersive experience

However, this audiobook takes the experience to a whole new level! Luke’s amazing narration and voice acting breathe life into the characters, elevating it even further.
