Fyodor Dostoevsky Chronology

A New World Called Fyodor Dostoevsky
His final masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in 1821 as the second son of Mikhail Andreevich Dostoevsky, a doctor who worked at a hospital for the poor in Moscow, Russia.
While his contemporary writers, Ivan Turgenev and Lev Tolstoy, who were born in the early 19th century, were of noble birth, Dostoevsky came from a commoner background, and this starting point also influenced his works.
He lost both his parents when he was a teenager; his mother died of tuberculosis and his father was murdered by serfs.
He began to gain fame in 1846 with the publication of the novella “Poor People,” but was arrested in 1849 on charges of ideological crimes and sentenced to death. However, his sentence was commuted just before execution and he served time in prison in Siberia.
During this time, he suffered several severe epileptic seizures.
He spent most of his 30s in exile and returned to St. Petersburg after 10 years, where he launched a magazine with his brother and engaged in active creative work.
The author's continued dream of social change and his attempts to realize it through literature began with "Notes from the Underground," deepened in his first full-length novel, "Crime and Punishment," and culminated in "The Brothers Karamazov," which became his last work after his death in 1881.
This final masterpiece is considered a masterpiece that, in literary history, brought to a grand conclusion the great era of 19th-century Russian novels that established Russian literature as a prominent figure in world literature.

As the 20th century progressed, Dostoevsky's influence expanded, and among his works, The Brothers Karamazov in particular, became a "North Star"-like guide for later writers as a "comprehensive novel" that "contains everything you need to know about life" (Kurt Vonnegut) and "Haruki Murakami." His ideological influence is still ongoing.
As Mikhail Bakhtin put it, “Dostoevsky’s influence is still far from reaching its peak.
The great transformation he brought about has not yet become fully ours or been fully recognized.
“Dostoevsky has not yet become Dostoevsky.”

You exist, therefore love.
To become a grain of wheat that falls to the ground and bears much fruit

The Brothers Karamazov is a crime novel that deals with the murder of a biological father.
Three brothers, Dmitry, Ivan, and Alyosha, who were abandoned by their father, Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, as children and grew up without a mother, return home.
They either pity or loathe their lustful and greedy father, and especially Dmitry and Ivan wish for his death, either openly or covertly.
Then, when Fyodor is murdered, the blame shifts to his eldest son, Dmitry, with whom he was embroiled in a conflict over inheritance and a romantic rivalry.
Dostoevsky connects the incident of patricide in a family with the ideological dimension through the actions and consciousness of three brothers who share the Karamazov blood ('kara' meaning 'punishment' and 'mazat' meaning 'to defile'), and leads them to the theme of rehabilitation and salvation that he would write about in his life.

According to the preface to this work, the author initially conceived the biographical story of the third son, Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov, or Alyosha, as the protagonist, but it turned out to be “one biography, two novels.”
The main novel is the second one, but this novel was completed first due to the need to tell the story of a moment in the protagonist's early youth. However, the author's remaining plans were never realized, and The Brothers Karamazov became an unfinished work.
Also, contrary to the author's intention, people often read this work focusing on Ivan, but mainly, there are three chapters that are highly regarded for their literary value as independent chapters: "Treason", "The Grand Inquisitor" (Volume 1), and "The Devil", in which Ivan's arguments representing reason are presented.
This may be because the scars of distrust and skepticism that the author personally experienced are deeply reflected throughout “Ivan Fyodorovich’s Nightmare” (Volume 3), and the ideological discussions that the author wishes to address are concentrated there.
Ivan's answer to the question, "Is God unable to prevent evil? Or is he unwilling to do so?" is the realization of vengeance and justice on this earth now.
Therefore, patricide is revenge against the father who abandoned his own child, that is, against the Creator-God who abandoned the human beings he created in evil and suffering.

But Dostoevsky sets Alyosha and his spiritual father, Elder Zosima, against Ivan's Western rationalism, atheism, and Euclidean reason.
Elder Josima's answer is love.
It is not an abstract ideology, but a practical and concrete love, an act of giving 'an onion' to one's neighbor.

“In the epilogue, Alyosha gathers twelve boys and prepares them as ‘new men.’
Of the three brothers, Alyosha was the first to reach 'newness'.
The conflicts, confrontations, chaos, and shocks he experienced after the death of Elder Josima made him recognize the last shell of the world that hinders the 'germination' of a new spirit, and gave him insight into the nature of the world before he could go out into it.
Through this process, he says goodbye to many questionable values ​​of the world and is reborn as a new human being.
The love that now arises in him is not a fleeting emotion or a momentary experience, but evidence of a complete renewal that will remain unchanged throughout his life.
“Prepared in this way, he can follow the calling given to him and become a grain of wheat for others.” - From the translator’s commentary

From John 12:24, “Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit,” to the twelve boys’ cheers, “Long live the Karamazovs, hand in hand, forever and ever!” the author’s message through The Brothers Karamazov is nonetheless clear.
