This book is the first important work Dostoevsky completed after returning to Petersburg from exile. The novel describes the tragedy of two families caused by the bourgeois adventurer Valkovsky. First, he embezzled the only farm belonging to the poor and declining Ikhmenev noble family, and ruined the marriage between Ikhmenev's daughter Natasha and his son Alyosha in order to marry Katya, who had a millionaire fortune, as his daughter-in-law. The other is the old man Smith's family. His daughter was abandoned by Valkovsky from beginning to end, defrauded of her property, and died of poverty and illness. Smith eventually died of poverty.

He fell into painful mental torture, nervously exposed himself again and again, and even subconsciously went to the murder scene to ring the doorbell again, reliving the painful and terrible ugly feeling. In the end, inspired by the "love" of the prostitute Sonia, he surrendered.
