Book Description:
Crime and Punishment is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s gripping psychological and philosophical masterpiece — a profound exploration of guilt, redemption, and the human soul. The novel follows Raskolnikov, a destitute former student in St. Petersburg, who believes he is intellectually and morally justified in murdering a pawnbroker to rid the world of a parasite and improve his own circumstances.
But after the crime, Raskolnikov is consumed by paranoia, isolation, and inner torment. As he navigates suspicion, encounters unexpected kindness, and is pursued by the relentless detective Porfiry, he is forced to confront the weight of his actions and the nature of true justice.
Dark, intense, and deeply human, Crime and Punishment is a timeless inquiry into conscience, punishment, and the possibility of redemption.
