Detailed author biography
Dive into the world of one of the most profound psychological explorations in literature with Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. This illustrated edition features 20 striking illustrations that bring to life the gripping tension of the story, immersing you in the streets of St. Petersburg and the tormented mind of its protagonist.
Follow Rodion Raskolnikov, a brilliant but impoverished student who believes he is above moral law. Consumed by a theory that certain individuals can transcend traditional ethics for the greater good, he plans and executes the murder of a pawnbroker. But as guilt and paranoia close in, Raskolnikov spirals into a mental and emotional unraveling, facing his conscience, the justice system, and his own search for redemption.
With a richly drawn cast of characters—including the compassionate Sonia, the morally ambiguous Svidrigailov, and the cunning detective Porfiry—Crime and Punishment explores the depths of human suffering, the consequences of crime, and the possibility of spiritual awakening. Dostoevsky’s masterpiece is a philosophical tour de force that forces readers to grapple with the complexities of guilt, morality, and salvation.
This edition not only captures the intensity of the novel but also provides additional context through a character list, a comprehensive summary, and an in-depth biography of the author, offering a deeper understanding of Dostoevsky’s life and work.
Perfect for new readers and longtime fans alike, this beautifully illustrated edition makes Dostoevsky’s masterpiece even more accessible and engaging.
