Author: DOSTOYEVSKY, FYODOR
Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law.
But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with Porfiry, a suspicious detective, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.
Key Themes:
- Moral Conflict: Raskolnikov struggles with his belief in acting beyond moral law.
- Psychological Tension: The interplay between guilt and conscience as he faces Porfiry.
- Redemption: Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, offers him the chance to seek redemption.
As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky's dark masterpiece evokes a world where:
- The lines between innocence and corruption blur.
- The boundaries of good and evil dissolve.
- Everyone's faith in humanity is profoundly tested.
This gripping exploration of morality and human nature cements Dostoyevsky's place as a master of psychological and philosophical fiction.
