Gray, damp Petersburg is filled not only with the aristocracy of the capital, but in the shadows wander shivering beggars. Their lives are filled with suffering and the struggle for a piece of bread and a corner under the roof...
of a precarious little house. There, in the darkness, a poor student, obsessed with philosophy and pity for his existence, decides on a low and repugnant act to any worthy human being. There, in the darkness, he resolves to commit murder.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky conceived the idea of this novel while in penal servitude, interacting not only with political prisoners but also with thieves and murderers. Much struck him in their speech and judgments. And he was the first to reveal to the Russian reader of the 19th century the thoughts and feelings of a soul killer and representatives of the lower classes, which caused outrage in high society but later gained worldwide recognition.
