A seemingly well-reasoned justification of murder comes to pieces
as the murderer is forced to confront the true nature of his crime.
After much thought Rodion Raskolnikov determines that certain
special people deserve the right to step outside of normal law and
order to accomplish difficult deeds for the good of others and even
humanity as a whole. Trapped in desperate poverty, he justifies his
plan to rob and kill a rich, unpopular pawnbroker, reasoning that
he will take the money, survive and go on to do good things for
others. The terrible act of murder, and the unstoppable cascade of
events that follow, throw Raskolnikov into a nightmare of mental
unbalance and moral torment. One situation after another arises
that drives home his guilt and shows how his brutal act has
resulted in nothing but destruction and pain. A surprise visit from
family and a policeman who seems teasingly, sardonically aware of
his guilt thrust Raskolnikov into a position where he can't tell if
even confession will supply meaningful redemption. First published
in 1866, Crime and Punishment stands as one of the most acclaimed
novels of all time and remains unsurpassed in its penetrating
psychology and raw glimpses of a mind wracked by moral confusion
and fundamental questions of how to do the right thing. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of Crime and Punishment is both modern and readable.
