Description
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the greatest novels ever written. Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, a poverty-stricken student, lives in a tiny garret in St. Petersburg. Raskolnikov is intelligent and he thinks that the extraordinary men have a right to commit any crime if they have something of worth to offer to the society. He murders an old, loathsome pawnbroker and her half-sister who happened to come upon him suddenly. In the nineteenth century, the western world moved away from the romanticism found in the works of the great writers. Russia was leading a movement into a realistic approach to literature. Fyodor Dostoyevsky was one of the forerunners. One of the most liked novels in the world. Complete & unabridged.
