Description

The crime committed by the student Raskolnikov is a crime for which society itself is responsible. The premeditated murder of the old pawnbroker and the collateral -accidental- murder of her sister is a protest against social injustice and makes the perpetrator question whether he is the criminal or the victim. As for the punishment, you will find it -just or unjust- in the pages of the masterpiece novel by the great Russian author.

Dostoevsky, with "Crime and Punishment," blatantly presents us with the existential problem through the character of a perpetrator who became a murderer, protesting against the social injustice of the then Russian society, which is not much different from the societies of the present.

This contemplation of the hero makes the work timeless, with particular depth, and it is rightly considered one of the great novels of world literature.

Why We Loved It

Dostoevsky, with "Crime and Punishment," openly presents the existential problem before us, through the character of a perpetrator who became a murderer, protesting against the social injustice of Russian society at the time, which does not differ much from the societies of today.

This inner conflict of the hero makes the work timeless, with particular depth, and it is rightly considered one of the great novels of world literature.

Biography - Dostojevskij Fedor Michajlovic

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was one of the greatest Russian novelists. After studying engineering, he left the army for literature, focusing on poverty and the destitution of society. His opposition to Tsar Nicholas I led to four years of imprisonment with harsh torture. Writing became a means of survival from debt, resulting in his best works such as "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov." His works, which have been translated worldwide, make him one of the greatest literary figures of all time.
