Crime and punishment

Raskolnikov commits murder. He then must deal both with the police, and his own guilty conscience. Determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammelled individual will, Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the Tsars, commits an act of murder and theft and sets into motion a story which, for its excrutiating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its profundity of characterization and vision, is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky's masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imagination.

  • "Der aus verarmter bürgerlicher Familie stammende Student Raskolnikov ist besessen von der Idee des Nutzens und deshalb überzeugt, dass dem "grossen Menschen " erlaubt sei, "lebensunwertes " Leben zu vernichten, um "lebenswertes" Leben zu erhalten und zu fördern. (Quelle: Vontobel J., Und bist du nicht willig... [VIII C 5061])."
  • "Raskolnikov, a former Russian student, murders an old pawnbroker and her sister. The subsequent guilt with which he struggles results in a tragedy of tension and terror."@en
  • "A man must endure relentless physical and mental punishments as retribution for his act of murder."
  • "One of the greatest works of fiction ever written, Crime and punishment is an intense psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, and a fascinating detective thriller instilled with philosophical, religious, and social commentary. Dostoevsky studies the psychological impact upon a desperate and impoverished student when he murders a despicable pawnbroker, transgressing moral law to ultimately "benefit humanity ... This new narration of Crime and punishment takes the listener 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 who cannot escape his own conscience."@en
