The Brothers Karamazov
A brutal provincial landowner and his three grown sons converge on the same house, the same inheritance and the same woman. Dmitri wants his money, Ivan argues God out of existence, Alyosha keeps to the monastery, and then the father is found killed. Three brothers and a murdered father; the whole argument between faith and doubt staged as a family.
