Beschreibung
Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished student in St. Petersburg, grapples with intense mental anguish and moral dilemmas as he devises a plan to murder a despised pawnbroker for her money. His aim is not only to solve his financial woes but to test his theory of being an extraordinary individual, akin to Napoleon, who can transcend moral laws.
Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, originally serialized in 1866, delves deep into Raskolnikov's psyche, exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society, the novel examines the complexities of morality and the consequences of crime.
Dostoevsky's profound insights and masterful storytelling make Crime and Punishment a compelling exploration of the nature of good and evil. This timeless classic remains a critical examination of justice and human resilience.
