About
In the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg, the impoverished ex-student Raskolnikov murders a pawnbroker to prove his theory that extraordinary men stand above conventional morality. What follows is not triumph but a descent into paranoia, fever, and moral torment, sharpened by a cat-and-mouse duel with the shrewd magistrate Porfiry and softened by his encounter with the devout prostitute Sonya. Dostoevsky turns a crime story into a searing investigation of guilt, faith, suffering, and redemption. A cornerstone of nineteenth-century Russian literature, it stands as one of the founding works of the modern psychological novel.
