Crime and Punishment ( Reprint)

5 R.      Fyodor Dostoevsky  Wordsworth Collection

Note

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky revolves around Rodion Raskolnikov, a young, impoverished former student living in St. Petersburg. Believing himself to be intellectually superior and destined for greatness, Raskolnikov commits a brutal double murder, thinking he can justify it as a means to help others. However, the crime torments him mentally and morally, leading to a descent into guilt and paranoia. The novel explores Raskolnikov's complex relationships with various characters, including Sonia, a compassionate prostitute who becomes his spiritual guide, and Porfiry, the astute police detective who subtly taunts him with suspicions of his guilt. As Raskolnikov grapples with his actions, the story delves into themes of redemption, suffering, and the morality of crime, ultimately questioning the nature of punishment and the human capacity for change.
