A story that highlights the human soul and social inequalities, "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky follows former law student Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, who lives in abject poverty in St. Petersburg. Disillusioned with his life and driven by desperation for strength, he contemplates the extermination of an elderly money lender. His soul is flooded with doubts, but his desire to rebel against society and impulses for revenge push him onto a dangerous path.

A masterpiece of psychological analysis, the 1866 novel features some of Dostoevsky's most iconic characters, such as the impulsive Raskolnikov, the amoral Svidrigailov, and the unethical lawyer Luzhin. Presented here in a new version by Roger Cockrell, it constitutes a colossal piece of 19th-century Russian literature and a milestone in world literature.
