«Crime and Punishment» — is an intense psychological thriller and simultaneously a philosophical novel about the limits of human freedom, the price of pride, and the power of repentance. The work was written in 1866, but it still remains one of the most read books in the world and is included in most school literature programs.
Rodion Raskolnikov — a former student living in extreme poverty and convinced that people are divided into «quivering creatures» (ordinary) and «those with rights» (exceptional), who are allowed to break the law for the sake of a «higher purpose». To prove his theory, he commits a dreadful crime. But at the moment the axe falls, the true drama begins: not externally, but within the hero. Fyodor Dostoevsky transforms St. Petersburg into a labyrinth of mental anguish: stuffy little rooms, bridges and foggy streets — all of this reflects Raskolnikov's split consciousness. He is pursued not only by the investigator and circumstances but also by his own thoughts, nightmares, images of the victim, and a constant sense of guilt.
