One of the world's greatest novels, Crime and Punishment is the
story of a murder and its consequences--an unparalleled tale of
suspense set in the midst of nineteenth-century Russia's troubled
transition to the modern age.
In the slums of czarist St. Petersburg lives young Raskolnikov,
a sensitive, intellectual student. The poverty he has always known
drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he
puts this belief to the test and commits murder, there results
unbearable suffering. Crime and punishment, the novel reminds us,
"grow from the same seed."
"No other novelist," wrote Irving Howe of Dostoyevsky, "has
dramatized so powerfully the values and dangers, the uses and
corruptions of systematized thought." But Sigmund Freud and others
saw the Russian's work in a different light. Said Freud, "He might
have been a liberator of mankind. Instead he chose to be its
jailer."
"He is the only psychologist I have anything to learn
from."--Friedrich Nietzsche
