Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoevsky

A psychological novel following Raskolnikov, an impoverished student in Saint Petersburg, who murders an old pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary individuals may transgress moral law. After the crime and a period of delirium and psychological torment, he confesses and faces imprisonment, ultimately finding redemption through love and faith.
