Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel, The Brothers Karamazov (1880) is both a brilliantly told crime story and a passionate philosophical debate. The dissolute landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered; his sons—the atheist intellectual Ivan, the hot-blooded Dmitry, and the saintly novice Alyosha—are all at some level involved. Bound up with this intense family drama is Dostoevsky's exploration of many deeply felt ideas about the existence of God, the question of human freedom, the collective nature of guilt, the disastrous consequences of rationalism.

En ese trance, cuando sus recuerdos, sueños y miedos se entrecruzan en un presente continuo, ellas se preguntan si el pulso de su deseo es seguir viviendo. Isla partida es una novela fractal, poliédrica, una escritura del delirio que retrata un pensamiento fuera de los límites; una casa de los espejos hecha de lenguaje.
