Dostoevesky's Masterpiece?

skaterskagg1 · 08-13-2009, 06:06 PM

What, in your opinion, what is Dostoevsky's masterpiece? Of all the people I asked, I was certain most would tell me they thought it was The Brothers Karamazov, but you'd be surprised how many said The Idiot or even Demons. So, what is your choice for Dostoevsky's greatest novel?

Whether or no, The Idiot is exquisite.

I like them all (though I haven't read Demons), but I think The Brothers Karamazov is in it's own league.
