Crime and Punishment
A tormented student's moral descent and desperate quest for redemption after a calculated murder.
About this book
In the claustrophobic streets of 19th-century St. Petersburg, a brilliant but tormented former student wrestles with ideas about justice, morality, and the worth of a human life. The story plunges into his fevered conscience as philosophical conviction collides with guilt, paranoia, and the consequences of action, rendered in electrifying psychological detail. Dostoevsky’s prose crackles with moral urgency and compassion, weaving a tense drama that probes punishment, redemption, and the stubbornness of conscience—an unsettling, unforgettable exploration of what it means to be human.
