Преступление и наказание

One of the "cornerstone" works of Russian and world literature, included in all school and university programs, Dostoevsky's repeatedly filmed novel "Crime and Punishment" poses the most important moral and ideological questions to the reader - about faith, conscience, sin and about redemption through suffering. The refutation of the criminal "idea-passion", "ugly dream", which captured the mind of Rodion Raskolnikov in the most "intentional" and "fantastic" city in the world, is the main content of this most complex book that combines several different genres. Conceived as a "psychological account of a single crime," Dostoevsky's novel appeared before the reader as a grandiose artistic and philosophical study of human nature, a Christian tragedy about the death and resurrection of the soul.
