Book I. The History Of A Family
Chapter I. Fyodor Pavlovitch Karamazov
Alexey Fyodorovitch Karamazov was the third son of Fyodor
Pavlovitch Karamazov, a land owner well known in our district
in his own day, and still remembered among us owing to his
gloomy and tragic death, which happened thirteen years ago,
and which I shall describe in its proper place. For the present I
will only say that this “landowner”—for so we used to call him,
although he hardly spent a day of his life on his own estate—was
a strange type, yet one pretty frequently to be met with, a type
abject and vicious and at the same time senseless. But he was one
of those senseless persons who are very well capable of looking
after their worldly affairs, and, apparently, after nothing else.
Fyodor Pavlovitch, for instance, began with next to nothing; his
estate was of the smallest; he ran to dine at other men's tables,
and fastened on them as a toady, yet at his death it appeared that
he had a hundred thousand roubles in hard cash. At the same

fellows in the whole district. I repeat, it was not stupidity—the
majority of these fantastical fellows are shrewd and intelligentChapter I. Fyodor Pavlovitch Karamazov 3
enough—but just senselessness, and a peculiar national form of
it.
He was married twice, and had three sons, the eldest, Dmitri,
by his first wife, and two, Ivan and Alexey, by his second.
Fyodor Pavlovitch's first wife, Adelaïda Ivanovna, belonged to
a fairly rich and distinguished noble family, also landowners in
our district, the Miüsovs. How it came to pass that an heiress,
who was also a beauty, and moreover one of those vigorous,
intelligent girls, so common in this generation, but sometimes [002]
also to be found in the last, could have married such a worthless,
puny weakling, as we all called him, I won't attempt to explain.
I knew a young lady of t
