Description: "In this book, Ellis Sandoz gives an account of Dostoevsky's "Legend of the Grand Inquisitor." Sandoz pulls apart the Legend, giving it context and meaning in relation to The Brothers Karamazov, the novel in which the Legend appears, and to history. Sandoz's sense for the author's intent is interwoven with Dostoevsky's own correspondence and a comprehensive exploration of the political, theological, and philosophical atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Russia."--BOOK JACKET.
