Crime and Punishment (selected Translations of Famous Works)
About This Novel
"Crime and Punishment" is one of the masterpieces of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the great Russian writer of the 19th century. The novel describes Raskolnikov, a poor college student who wanted to become a Napoleonic figure and believed that he was a superman. He was poisoned by anarchist ideas and forced by life. He killed the old landlady who was a loan shark and her innocent sister, and committed a murder that shocked the whole of Russia. After experiencing a painful confession, he finally surrendered under the persuasion of the Christian girl Sonia and was sentenced to exile in Siberia. The work focuses on the protagonist's mental state of being condemned by his conscience and feeling deeply lonely and fearful after committing a crime, and depicts his psychological changes before and after the crime. On the one hand, the novel depicts the miserable life of the lower class people in Russia and exposes the evils of aristocratic society; on the other hand, it also promotes the idea of accepting one's fate and seeking liberation from religion.

What is sin? What is punishment? From the perspective of the protagonist of this book, the crime is murder and the punishment is eight years of exile. But the most important and exciting thing about this book is Raskolnikov's conscience that comes and goes after killing someone (often giving the only money he has to others), and the collision and collapse of his inner world (that is, the theory that supports his murder) and the real world. Finally he woke up. I think one of the indispensable reasons is that there are people around him who love him very much and are even willing to sacrifice for him, so that he will not commit suicide due to pain after killing (which is also a kind of cowardice in a sense). The protagonist's heart is very complicated, and the author also portrays Raskolnikov's inner world very well (anyway, I often feel pain because of Raskolnikov). And the happy ending can't help but make people feel hopeful, because most of the previous part is very depressing (there are occasional scenes of relief).
Hey, you guys, didn't you have to recharge after reading Chapter 10 at first? I wanted to finish the reading task quickly, but the whole book after that was free. Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It means that I still have some time left to complete the reading task, but there are free books to read.
Why is the preface unfinished? .

Perhaps the delay of justice gave rise to tragedies like Raskolniv, but using violence to fight violence and believing in violence will eventually make the scales of justice weightless. Does doing so uphold justice or push the balance of justice into the abyss?
This is a good book I've been watching it recently too He is a spiritual strongman, but not a moral strongman
