Rodion Raskolnikov was prepared to execute the perfect crime—to murder a duplicitous pawnbroker and perform good deeds with the victim’s ill-gained cash. In this psychological and philosophical masterwork following the events of a botched murder, a desperate marriage, and a throbbing conscience, Doestoevsky delivers an unforgettable journey into the human soul through themes of justice, redemption, nihilism, and love.
