About this product

Product Information

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read A desperate young man plans the perfect crime--the murder of a despicable pawnbroker, an old women no one loves and no one will mourn. Is it not just, he reasons, for a man of genius to commit such a crime, to transgress moral law--if it will ultimately benefit humanity? So begins one of the greatest novels ever written: a powerful psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, a fascinating detective thriller infused with philosophical, religious and social commentary. Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in a garret in the gloomy slums of St. Petersburg, carries out his grotesque scheme and plunges into a hell of persecution, madness and terror. Crime and Punishment takes the reader on a journey into the darkest recesses of the criminal and depraved mind, and exposes the soul of a man possessed by both good and evil . . . a man who cannot escape his own conscience.

  • Wonderful Book

    I got this book because it's considered a monumental classic and, quite frankly, I'd never read it before and felt guilty. I'm glad I finally gave in and read it! The book is the fascinating story of the psychological and spiritual struggle of a young man who kills an old lady described as utterly worthless to society--a louse. To those who know a bit about utilitarianism, this book explores the implications of a purely act utilitarian perspective. By all means, the world would be better off without this cruel old lady. In fact, her fortune could be stolen and used to better humanity instead of going to the monastery she intends to donate it to in order to buy prayers for her soul. In spite of the obvious benefits, he quickly finds that things are not really that simple. First, the ...

  • Nietzsche Made Me Do It!

    Dostoevsky's anti-hero is the Superman of whom the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche dreamed. He believes (or at least thinks he does) that there exists an elite group of humans who are above the law by virtue of their superiority to the rest of the human race. Unfortunately, Raskolnikov underestimates the power of conscience. Nietzsche would probably say Raskolnikov was simply mistaken about his superman status, but to most of us, Raskolnikov is a tragic example of hubris and the belief that any of us are above the law. His total angst, bordering on nervous collapse after murdering the pawnbroker will make you want to wring your hands about as often as does the tubercular Sonia, Raskolnikov's confessor and salvation. Dostoevsky's Russia is dark and dirty lending the sense that ...
