Samenvatting:

One of the most famous passages in modern literature reimagined in a graphic novel adaptation. Two acclaimed Russian artists have collaborated to create an original graphic novel adaptation of the most famous chapters of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov: Rebellion and The Grand Inquisitor. Ivan Karamazov, after protesting a God who allows innocents to suffer, recites for his brother Alyosha a poem he has written about Jesus' reappearance on earth during the Spanish Inquisition. One of the most famous passages in modern literature, this work raises important questions about free will, human nature, religion, power, and the radically subversive way of Jesus.
