The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov

Authors: Fyodor Dostoevsky, Larissa Volokhonsky, translator, Richard Pevear
Genres: Novel, Russian
Tags: #137, #137 Scholé Every Day, #138, #138 Topical Discussion, #139, #139 Scholé Every Day, #148, #148 Scholé Every Day, #19, #19 Scholé Every Day, #52, #52 Scholé Every Day, #77, #77 Scholé Every Day, #86, #86 Scholé Every Day, Brandy Vencel, Eric Hall, Erica Robertson, Guest Picks, Mystie Winckler, Sistership Book Club Pick

"The Brothers Karamasov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal
inventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel."

Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition

Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition

Author: Karen Glass
Series: Carpe Librum

The educators of ancient Greece and Rome gave the world a vision of what education should be. The medieval and Renaissance teachers valued their insights and lofty goals. Christian educators such as Augustine, Erasmus, Milton, and Comenius drew from the teaching of Plato, Aristotle, and Quintilian those truths which they found universal and potent. Charlotte Mason developed her own philosophy of education from the riches of the past, not accidentally but purposefully. She and the other founding members of the Parents’ National Educational Union in England were inspired by the classical educators of history and set out to achieve their vision in modern education. They succeeded—and thanks to Charlotte Mason’s clear development of methods to realize the classical ideals, we can partake of the classical tradition as well.

Deschooling Society

Author: Ivan Illich
Tags: #148, #148 Scholé Every Day, #149, #149 Topical Discussion, #154, #154 Topical Discussion, Mystie Winckler

Schools have failed our individual needs, supporting false and misleading notions of 'progress' and development fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities have become recruiting centers for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggest some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.
