The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, read by Constantine Gregory. Naxos AudioBooks, unabridged, 29 CDs, 37 hrs., $152.98 ISBN 978-1-84379-682-4

The depth, complexity, and length of what many consider to be Dostoyevski’s best work make it one of the hardest classic novels to bring to audio. The philosophical novel/murder mystery set in 19th-century Russia requires a strong and versatile narrator to keep listeners going for the day-and-a-half-plus duration. Thankfully, narrator Constantine Gregory masters the challenge. In doing so, he manages the omniscient third-person narration by using a pleasant mellifluous tone that invites the listener to relax and approach the text patiently and carefully. The novel also features first-person voices from the large cast of characters, such as Father Zosima, who, naturally enough, argues for the existence of a higher power—and Gregory is able to imbue those sections with enough individuality to make them as distinct as the author intended.
