Crime and Punishment

F.M. Dostoevsky complained in his personal correspondence while working on «Crime and Punishment»: «I am convinced that not a single one of our writers, past or present, has written under the conditions under which I constantly write; Turgenev would have died from the very thought.» Besieged by creditors, writing two novels simultaneously, in love with his stenographer Anna Snitkina, who became the great wife of a great author, Fyodor Mikhailovich gives the world the eternal choice: «Am I a trembling creature or do I have the right?» The story of a murder, where the murderer is revealed from the very beginning, the story of the sacrificial love of mothers, wives, sisters, the story of the thoughtful investigator, Porfiry Petrovich, the story of St. Petersburg, with its streets, lanterns, and embankments. The story of Sonia's love, who after all the circles of hell had a huge heart with God inside.
