Gebundenes Buch

Crime and Punishment

Beschreibung

In the gritty streets of St. Petersburg, a young and impoverished ex-student named Raskolnikov wrestles with his own desperation and philosophical ideas. Believing himself to be above conventional morality, he commits a brutal murder, hoping to prove a radical theory. However, the aftermath is far from what he anticipated. Consumed by guilt and paranoia, Raskolnikov finds himself in a psychological battle with the relentless detective Porfiry and his own conscience. "Crime and Punishment" is a gripping exploration of morality, redemption, and the human psyche. Dostoevsky's masterful narrative takes readers on an intense journey through the darkness of a tortured mind and the search for atonement, making it one of the most enduring works in world literature.

Autor

Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist, journalist, and philosopher born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest literary figures in Russian and world literature. Dostoyevsky was the second son of a former army doctor. His mother died when he was young, and his father was murdered by his own serfs when Dostoyevsky was 18. These events greatly influenced his writing, which often explores themes of suffering, redemption, and the human condition. Dostoyevsky began his writing career in the 1840s, with works like "Poor Folk" and "The Double." He was arrested in 1849 for participating in a political group, and spent several years in prison and exile in Siberia. This experience would later inform his writing, particularly in his novel "The House of the Dead." After his release, Dostoyevsky wrote several of his most famous works, including "Crime and Punishment," "The Idiot," and "The Brothers Karamazov." He was known for his psychological depth and his exploration of philosophical and religious themes. Dostoyevsky died on February 9, 1881, in St. Petersburg, Russia, leaving behind a legacy of literary masterpieces that continue to be read and studied to this day.
