This new edition presents The Grand Inquisitor together with the
preceding chapter, Rebellion, and the extended reply offered by
Dostoevsky in the following sections, entitled The Russian Monk. By
showing how Dostoevsky frames the Grand Inquisitor story in the
wider context of the novel, this edition captures the subtlety and
power of Dostoevsky's critique of modernity as well as his
alternative vision of human fulfillment.
