It blows my mind, how much effort and selfless generosity that this reader has devoted to making this story available to us, making it accessible. What a marvellous human being.
Surely he got even a tiny remuneration. A great job whichever way.
Can not agree less. God bless this person.
A great reading
He's a good guy, like Alyosha. Long live Alyosha

Ivan: "If you can waste another 10 minutes on me, I'll tell you my poem."
also Ivan: (hour-long story within a story)
But you gotta admit that it is one of the best poems/essay/story/idea you have ever heard.
And we were happy about every second
But what a story that was ✨

Well done, thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
you are doing the gods work!
tysm!
Great work!
the best audio production of the novel, understated but expressive.
Being a religious Jew that has no ties with Christianity; this story has made me blubble with tears on many occasions. The humanity of this story is timeless, and one can only believe that all who come with innocence and purity of heart are welcome in the kingdom of heaven.
"Lord have mercy on all who appear before Thee today"
i appreciate the clear enunciation of the reader. i am also glad that this channel is not monetised.
This pairs well with reading the novel. I can keep going while I drive or right before bed when the lights are out, then pick up the book to keep it going.
Grand inquisitor chapter is mind blowing
Well , that conversation with Ivan was anticipated with great apprehension and has put me out for the day. Ivan’s préoccupation with the evils of man has likewise bothered me from my adolescence, it’s somewhat assuring to know that other humans think this way.
I read it at 20 and am now 68
I greatly illuminated many aspects of my life and thereafter without doubt Dostoyevsky has been my favourite author. It also led to the next decade reading no other novels than those written by Russian authors - most from the Golden Era.
I'm 22 right now and I feel like I will be reading no other novels than those by Russian authors too haha. How did it illuminate your life?
@@quantumfizzics9265 I'm 28 and this is my third russian book (crime and punishment and anna karenina before this) and also think i will be reading solely russian authors for some time to come
@@queball685 I heard so many great things about Anna Karenina! I would like to read it soon 😸.
surprisingly modern of a novel. funny to think that these characters have never witnessed electricity.
My thoughts exactly. At listening to characters getting away with murder, I'm reminding myself that they didn't have fingerprinting techniques at the time.
DOSTOEVSKY RULES! This book is incredible he is before Freud! The Id, the Ego, and the Super Ego!!!! Thank you Grand Audiobooks! I am at times each brother: saint, sinner and proud!
Seriously, Freud was a total fraud. Folks without souls and or weak spirits can swallow that bunk. It is very talmudic to want to have sex with your mother.
Well Freud did think Dostoyevsky was the greatest psychologist.
@@IosebDzhugashvili Freud was a fraud. Psychology, like psychiatry are pseudo jewish sciences.
His psychological understanding is from Orthodoxy. The church fathers all understand the sou(psyche)l, some over 1500 years ago.
I’m so blown away by this book, truly the most important novel ever written. I wished I had read it when I was twenty
How do you think reading it at 20 would have affected you?
Just curious, if you have advice I’d love to hear it.
I agree though, I’m 23 and Dostoevsky has had a big impact on my life, especially the last couple years.
My dreams, my values, etc.
he beautifully takes the absolute worst of humanity to defend God, and specifically Christianity.
Each book brings me to tears. Dostoevsky is the most brilliant mind of the 19th century.
------
Rodka in Crime and punishment, his kissing the feet of the young prostitute. Not for her, but for the pain and suffering of humanity. How could she cry for his suffering after his confession? Not turn him away, and still value her life despite her parents selling her?
Or the boy in the story here in Brothers Karamazov, who committed crimes and had no real family to care for him.
He was sentenced to death and was ‘saved’ by the church. He found God, and cried with ecstasy at the fact that this is the best day of his life, for he will be with god in death.
The girl who was seduced in The Idiot who was shunned by all except the children who loved her. Her great crime, falling in love as a naive girl.
Or in Notes from the Underground when that maid came to visit the miserable man, and she sees him angrily yelling and exposing his true misery.
He was so ashamed he told her to leave, he told her he hated her. He spent his adult life completely broken and defined by the bullies of his youth, never allowing himself to be anything more.
She had been a glimmer of hope, a way out and there she was seeing him as he was.
These moments that show real glimpses of humanity and of humility, they break my heart.
I could write essay upon essay only about the beauty in his books.

Not sure how i came to find this.. googling and RUclips searching “best books of all time” and most pointed to this book. I dont have much time to read in the day (with two kids that need my attention) but I appreciate this audiobook and narrator.
Anyone want to start a fan club with me for the narrator, Bruce Pirie?
I listened to a third of this novel by Bruce Pirie on RUclips when an audio from my library became available. I recognized the narrator from Les Mis and I absolutely enjoyed that production. After five minutes of that reading of TBK I just couldn’t manage listening. I had to stop and return to hear the rest from Mr Pirie. He has such an earnestness in his reading. Hard words to listen to sometimes but always an easy voice.
I can't agree more, lol.
I must be near to parity now, twixt books I've read and books I've listened to in audio format.
The narrator literally makes all the difference.
I read 'crime and punishment' and assumed that dostoyevsky couldn't be done justice in audio, I'm happy after finding out that I was wrong about that.
All thanks to the ability of the narrator.
The Grand Inquisitor's story is beautiful but so is Zozima's story about Mihial. I think these two are bookends of each other. I have been trying to read this book since I was 20 and now at 27...struggling to choose a terrifying future is when it is finally starting to make sense. I don't think you need to read any other book after this one.
"Feed man and then ask of them virtue!" Very true!
1:50:00 “this is the happiest day, for I’m going to the lord” brought me to tears.
This story becomes more relevant with every chapter
2:25:49 2:33:11 Gosh this is among the best literature passage ever
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Inquisitor !
ruclips.net/video/MCM-JCpPPnA/видео.html ;)
I can't understand it :(. It's difficult literature
@Ioseb Dzhugashvili The Inquisitor is telling God that his work has been done. What was written was good enough, or maybe, not good enough in the eyes of the inquisitor. Saying that what God asks of man is too much and freedom is more of a burden than freeing. So, seeing it in the best interest of all men, he strips the freedom from the people to "make them happy" and lessen their burden. So, in trying to keep his followers devoted to him(the inquisitor) he denies God and basically says "go away we don't want you anymore. We have it under control."
It is also interesting because Ivan in the last chapter reveals he does have some belief in God but cannot accept him because God allows suffering. (remember him speaking of children in the last chapter) So Ivan is revealing that he is just like the Inquisitor in a way because he wants God to use his great powers and authority and miracles to remove suffering no matter what freedoms it will cost our free will.
You might also remember Alyosha stating that he -at times- has his doubts about God to his fiance. So in a removed way, he is also like the Inquisitor because he preaches that God is real to peaople like his father, but in his mind he isn't confident in it yet
A great reading voice.
Yes, it is melodic and flows with gentle frequency. As is a teaspoon of warm, liquid honey for a sore throat so is the reading in this voice for the spirit. A genuine gift for my mind.
Excellent and thank you so much reader .
1:33 the world must know what Turks did to us Bulgarians.
Thank u Mr Fyodor .Respect!
And what did aristocracy with folk
Huh
Brilliant reader. Thank you.
48:30
This is such a wonderful example of how it’s not freedom of choice that offers total freedom but rather complete devotion offers complete freedom.
this is actually a really interesting point when compared to what Ivan says in book 5 chapter 4 about freedom. He claims that now that he has "released" himself from Katerina he is free. So it's not in selfless devotion, but rather in separation that he feels free. Or is he lying to himself? I haven't read the whole story yet so I'm probably missing important details, but I would love to hear more discussion on this because I think it's really interesting :)
Burry me with the copy of the brothers karamazov.
Incredible so far
What a beautiful story
I had time to graduate, marry, buy a house and raise children during the time it took for Ivan to finish his little poem story
Loved it though. Banger.
This reader is amazing! Subbed
And now, on to the next.
thank you for this
Perfect
Thank you for your wonderful reading.
The reader is fantastic. Thanks for listening
5:30:00 this part is so relevant. We create desires that then destroy our lives, weather conscious or unconscious we make the choices and we always have a choice when it comes to how we handle/react with every moment.
And then to go in abo it the growing spirit of separation. Oh little did he know that it was only just beginning, the hatefulness towards traditional and towards the family unit, this yearning to be “different” and individual, all while creating more and more desires.
And I’m the end you sit in your castle alone and miserable.
Excellent
It's sad to see how Father Zosima's vision for the future of Russia never came to pass. Over 150 years later and it's still a mess.

The part where Ivan gives examples of stories where children suffer was tough to read through I don’t know if he made those up (I hope he did) but they were incredibly cruel
My mom used to be a social worker. While it's pretty questionable as to the legality of sharing stories of her work with me, she died recently, it hardly matters now. But the things I heard from her changed how I saw the world. It's not to say such severe abuse is widespread by any means, but it's far more common than our modern sensibilities say it should be. I won't repeat what I heard, but I can assure you these things happen. Again, far more than perhaps is reasonable. But I guess reason has nothing to do with it. I've also seen very broken people, with evil habits, change greatly just because someone loved them. Sometimes it takes more love than is reasonable or even deserved, by most standards, but maybe reason has nothing to do with that either.

Someone wrote an explanation about the story is that we overlook things right before our eyes.
The story of the babies being bayoneted is unfortunately true.

6:12:23 "Much on earth is hidden from us, but to make up for that we have been given a precious mystic sense of our living bond with the other world, with the higher heavenly world, and the roots of our thoughts and feelings are not here but in other worlds. That is why the philosophers say that we cannot apprehend the reality of things on earth.
God took seeds from different worlds and sowed them on this earth, and His garden grew up and everything came up that could come up, but what grows lives and is alive only through the feeling of its contact with other mysterious worlds. If that feeling grows weak or is destroyed in you, the heavenly growth will die away in you. Then you will be indifferent to life and even grow to hate it. That's what I think." ruclips.net/video/QUSexfD728g/видео.html

>> "[...] but we in our green youth have to settle the eternal questions first of all. That's what we care about.
[...] In this stinking tavern, for instance, here, they meet and sit down in a corner. They've never met in their lives before and, when they go out of the tavern, they won't meet again for forty years. And what do they talk about in that momentary halt in the tavern? Of the eternal questions, of the existence of God and immortality. And those who do not believe in God talk of socialism or anarchism, of the transformation of all humanity on a new pattern, so that it all comes to the same, they're the same questions turned inside out. And masses, masses of the most original Russian boys do nothing but talk of the eternal questions! Isn't it so?"
"Yes, for real Russians the questions of God's existence and of immortality, or, as you say, the same questions turned inside out, come first and foremost, of course, and so they should," said Alyosha, still watching his brother with the same gentle and inquiring smile.
"Well, Alyosha, it's sometimes very unwise to be a Russian at all, but anything stupider than the way Russian boys spend their time one can hardly imagine. But there's one Russian boy called Alyosha I am awfully fond of."
"How nicely you put that in!" Alyosha laughed suddenly.
"Well, tell me where to begin, give your orders. The existence of God, eh?"
"Begin where you like. You declared yesterday at father's that there was no God." Alyosha looked searchingly at his brother.
"I said that yesterday at dinner on purpose to tease you and I saw your eyes glow. But now I've no objection to discussing with you, and I say so very seriously. I want to be friends with you, Alyosha, for I have no friends and want to try it. Well, only fancy, perhaps I too accept God," laughed Ivan; "that's a surprise for you, isn't it?"
"Yes of course, if you are not joking now."
"Joking? I was told at the elder's yesterday that I was joking. You know, dear boy, there was an old sinner in the eighteenth century who declared that, if there were no God, he would have to be invented. S'il n'existait pas Dieu, il faudrait l'inventer. And man has actually invented God. And what's strange, what would be marvellous, is not that God should really exist; the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man. So holy it is, so touching, so wise and so great a credit it does to man. As for me, I've long resolved not to think whether man created God or God man. And I won't go through all the axioms laid down by Russian boys on that subject, all derived from European hypotheses; for what's a hypothesis there is an axiom with the Russian boy, and not only with the boys but with their teachers too, for our Russian professors are often just the same boys themselves. And so I omit all the hypotheses. For what are we aiming at now? I am trying to explain as quickly as possible my essential nature, that is what manner of man I am, what I believe in, and for what I hope, that's it, isn't it? And therefore I tell you that I accept God simply. But you must note this: if God exists and if He really did create the world, then, as we all know, He created it according to the geometry of Euclid and the human mind with the conception of only three dimensions in space. Yet there have been and still are geometricians and philosophers, and even some of the most distinguished, who doubt whether the whole universe, or to speak more widely, the whole of being, was only created in Euclid's geometry; they even dare to dream that two parallel lines, which according to Euclid can never meet on earth, may meet somewhere in infinity. I have come to the conclusion that, since I can't understand even that, I can't expect to understand about God. I acknowledge humbly that I have no faculty for settling such questions, I have a Euclidian earthly mind, and how could I solve problems that are not of this world? And I advise you never to think about it either, my dear Alyosha, especially about God, whether He exists or not. All such questions are utterly inappropriate for a mind created with an idea of only three dimensions. And so I accept God and am glad to, and what's more, I accept His wisdom, His purpose which are utterly beyond our ken; I believe in the underlying order and the meaning of life; I believe in the eternal harmony in which they say we shall one day be blended. I believe in the Word to Which the universe is striving, and Which Itself was 'with God,' and Which Itself is God and so on, and so on, to infinity. There are all sorts of phrases for it. I seem to be on the right path, don't I'? Yet would you believe it, in the final result I don't accept this world of God's, and, although I know it exists, I don't accept it at all. It's not that I don't accept God, you must understand, it's the world created by Him I don't and cannot accept. Let me make it plain. I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidian mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, of all the blood they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened with men- but thought all that may come to pass, I don't accept it. I won't accept it. Even if parallel lines do meet and I see it myself, I shall see it and say that they've met, but still I won't accept it. That's what's at the root of me, Alyosha; that's my creed. I am in earnest in what I say. I began our talk as stupidly as I could on purpose, but I've led up to my confession, for that's all you want. You didn't want to hear about God, but only to know what the brother you love lives by. And so I've told you."
Ivan concluded his long tirade with marked and unexpected feeling.
"And why did you begin 'as stupidly as you could'?" asked Alyosha, looking dreamily at him.
"To begin with, for the sake of being Russian. Russian conversations on such subjects are always carried on inconceivably stupidly. And secondly, the stupider one is, the closer one is to reality. The stupider one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straight forward. I've led the conversation to my despair, and the more stupidly I have presented it, the better for me."
"You will explain why you don't accept the world?" said Alyosha.

While I appreciate the eloquence and articulation of these theological dilemmas greatly, I must at once reprove that these are the expositions of an unchallenged mind. There are many answers to these supposed paradoxes and many fallacies included as such.
