Crime and Punishment

One terrible crime. One tormented conscience. A masterpiece of guilt, redemption, and the human soul.

Translated by Constance Garnett · Paperback: 664 pages

In Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers one of the greatest psychological novels ever written. Set in the poverty-stricken streets of St.

Petersburg, the novel follows Rodion Raskolnikov, a brilliant but impoverished former student who convinces himself that extraordinary individuals have the moral right to commit crimes in pursuit of a greater good. After murdering a greedy pawnbroker, however, he finds himself consumed not by triumph but by guilt, paranoia, and spiritual anguish.

As suspicion closes in and his conscience begins to unravel, Raskolnikov is forced to confront the devastating consequences of his actions. Through unforgettable characters and profound philosophical inquiry, Dostoevsky explores morality, justice, free will, and the possibility of redemption.
