About This Novel
"Crime and Punishment" is an outstanding social psychological novel. It heartily analyzes the psychology of criminals and tears apart the gloomy veil of society. It is the masterpiece that won Dostoevsky world-wide reputation. The novel describes a poor college student, Raskolnikov, who was forced to commit murder due to the pressure of making a living. After experiencing a painful inner struggle, he met the girl with a holy soul, Sonia, a prostitute who fell into prostitution for the sake of an unfortunate family. This finally led him to the road of atonement and the dawn of new life... The novel takes the protagonist's crime and the conscience and moral punishment he received after the crime as the main line, and extensively describes the desperate situation of the poor in Russian cities and the increasingly acute social contradictions. With true sympathy and full of anger, the author mercilessly presents the darkness, abject poverty, despair and filth of the Russian capital in the 1860s to readers.
