Crime and Punishment is a beautiful but a grim story of Rodion Romanovitch Raskalnikov, an impoverished student who had to interrupt his studies for poverty. Young Raskalnikov is a man of philosophic temper and thinks there are ordinary people who are (to be) governed by law and extraordinary people, like Napoleon, who have a right to transgress, at least for the good of the humanity. He writes a brilliant article delineating his philosophy. But he is living in rags and can't continue giving lessons in such wretched condition. He kills Alyova Ivanovna, an old pawnbroker who charges extortionary interest, and her sister Lisaveta who incidentally and unexpectedly arrives at the scene of crime, because he thinks it is good for humanity. The rest of the story is a psychological study of his conduct as he tries to hide his crime from police who have a strong suspicion of his crime. He is almost out of his mind after the murder. His friend and doctor both think he has gone mad. He fails to collect cash from his victim's room after the murder. He faints at the mere mention of the murder when he is summoned to police office for recovery of room rent on which he has defaulted. He comes in contact with some of the police personnel who happen to be acquaintances of his friend Razumihin and almost betrays his secrets included how he hid the few valueables he looted. He remains tense and alternates between clear faculties and insanity. Finally when it is clear that police is likely to arrest him anytime, he confesses even though he knows that police doesn't have enough proof to get a court conviction, particularly because another suspect has already confessed. He is convicted and sent to prison in Siberia where Sonya follows him. His charcter is enigmatic like Monalisa smile and it is difficult to conclude if he has truly repented or continues to justify his theory and his entitlement to transgress law.There are some sub plots. He is benevolent and helps the family of a poor acquaintance who has died in road accident by giving all the money he received from his mother for funeral arrangements. He rescues his sister from two middle aged rich suitors, one (Petrovich) whose matrimonial proposal she has accepted to help her mother and brother and the second (Svidrigailov) who had evil designs on her when she was his house governess and later again when his wife died. He encourages his sister into relationship and marriage with his friend Razumihin. The novel easily counts among the all-time best.

great condition, beautiful cover, good book, worth buying

This is my first novel, although I have tried some other novel in past but I didn't like them and left them at beginning but, this one gave me completely new experiences. While reading I find myself getting different feelings. The scenes and conversations are present in such a way it feels like watching a movie and the underlying story gives feelings as I knew them personally sometimes, I find myself pitying for characters and sometimes uplifted from the story. The author did a really great job.

It’s a lengthy read but the story line definitely keeps the reader engaged throughout the book. Makes the reader wonder about human life, thoughts and existence. Through the character Raskolnikov, Fyodor Dostoevsky tells us all a gripping tale about human nature, relationships and thoughts.

Book itself is okay but received a dirty copy. Unsatisfactory experience.

FAT ASF. 🤙🏻🤙🏻 was expecting the serious cover one not a font lettered cover 😔
