Crime and Punishment

Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a gripping exploration of morality, guilt, and redemption. The novel follows Raskolnikov, a destitute student in St. Petersburg, who believes he can transcend conventional ethics. His theory is put to the test when he commits a brutal murder. As he grapples with his conscience, the psychological tension is palpable. Dostoyevsky’s deep dive into the human psyche left me pondering the complexities of right and wrong long after I turned the last page.

Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.
