DAY 44

The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky · 1880
Братья Карамазовы
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Can we still love one another even in the deepest suffering of human existence?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this vast novel, I was instantly drawn into the fierce arguments traded among the three brothers. Through the ruin of a single family, Dostoevsky throws out the heavy themes of God, freedom, and human evil. That chaotic inner landscape, where there is neither perfect goodness nor absolute evil, is in the end a portrait of ourselves. You will find yourself wanting to answer these enormous questions—ones that only a writer who has descended to the very bottom of the human soul could ever have written.

"What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love."
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
"지옥이란 무엇인가? 그것은 더 이상 사랑할 수 없다는 고통이다."
