About the Book
First published in 1866, Crime and Punishment follows Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished former student in St Petersburg who convinces himself that an act of murder can be justified by a higher purpose. What follows is a harrowing descent into guilt, paranoia, and moral reckoning, as Raskolnikov is pursued not only by the police but by his own conscience. Dostoevsky weaves a gripping psychological drama with profound philosophical and religious questioning, examining themes of poverty, free will, redemption, and the nature of justice. The novel's unforgettable cast, including the relentless investigator Porfiry Petrovich and the self-sacrificing Sonya Marmeladova, brings depth and humanity to a story that remains one of the most influential works of psychological fiction ever written.
