About This Novel
This set of books is a collection of representative works created by the Russian writer Dostoevsky. It's in English, so English lovers shouldn't miss it. Take "Crime and Punishment" as an example. The novel describes Raskolnikov, a poor college student, who is poisoned by anarchist ideas and believes that he can do whatever he wants. Forced to make a living, he killed the old loan shark Alyona and her innocent sister Lizaveta, creating a murder that shocked the whole of Russia. After experiencing a painful confession, he finally surrendered under the persuasion of Sonia and was sentenced to exile in Siberia. The work focuses on depicting the protagonist's psychological changes after committing a crime and reveals the miserable life of the Russian lower class people. Lu Xun once commented: "If you compare the current Chinese things with foreign things, like Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment", it is really beyond comparison.
