IF YOU’RE LIKE MANY PEOPLE, The Brothers Karamazov may have been on your “must-read” list for a long time. If you haven’t read it yet, now is your opportunity to discover why this 19th-century Russian volume is not only
considered
one of the greatest novels of all time, but is also what Assistant Professor
Christine Chaney calls the magnum opus of the University Scholars program
at Seattle Pacific University. For the past several years, Response has introduced readers to some of the texts taught in the Common Curriculum, a general education program that requires Seattle Pacific students to explore a common set of literary, artistic, musical and theatrical works over the course of their university career. This time, however, we are focusing on a text in the University Scholars Curriculum, a sequence of general education courses taken by a cohort of gifted students.
Response is offering a free copy of The Brothers Karamazov to those who would like to join the University Scholars in reading the novel. To receive your copy, call 206/281-2051; send e-mail to response@spu.edu; or write Response, Office of University Communications, Seattle Pacific University, 3307 Third Avenue West, Seattle, Washington 98119. Through the Online Bulletin Board at www.spu.edu/response, readers are also invited to discuss The Brothers Karamazov together.
