Overview
Dostoyevsky's epic masterpiece, unabridged, with an afterword by Robin Feuer Miller One of the world's greatest novels, Crime and Punishment is the story of a murder and its consequences--an unparalleled tale of suspense set in the midst of nineteenth-century Russia's troubled transition to the modern age. In the slums of czarist St. Petersburg lives young Raskolnikov, a sensitive, intellectual student. The poverty he has always known drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he puts this belief to the test, he suffers unbearably. Crime and punishment, the novel reminds us, grow from the same seed.
"No other novelist," wrote Irving Howe of Dostoyevsky,
"has dramatized so powerfully the values and dangers, the uses and corruptions of systematized thought." And Friedrich Nietzsche called him
"the only psychologist I have anything to learn from." With an Introduction by Leonard J. Stanton and James D. Hardy Jr. and an Afterword by Robin Feuer Miller
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a seminal Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist, and philosopher, known for his profound and gripping explorations of human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia. His major works include Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and Demons, which delve deeply into complex themes of morality, redemption, and the existential torment of self and society.
Dostoyevsky's literary achievements have allowed him to be regarded as one of the greatest and most influential novelists of all time. The psychological depth of his characters, his development of existentialist themes, and his vivid portrayal of Russian life have awarded him acclaim not only in Russia but internationally, influencing a vast array of artists and thinkers across the globe. Fyodor was born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow, Russia, into a family of a doctor at Moscow's Hospital for the Poor. He was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and later through books by Russian and foreign authors.
