Description
Dostoyevsky's audacious theological novella stages a debate between Christ and the Inquisitor that rewrites Christian history as a tragedy of benevolence corrupted by institutional power. The Grand Inquisitor argues that Christ's gift of freedom was a catastrophe, that humans need bread and illusion more than choice—and the poem's devastating logic leaves readers without comfortable answers. This 40-page parable has unsettled readers for over 150 years by suggesting that even totalitarianism might be motivated by a twisted love.
