Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story delves into the psychological turmoil of its main character, Rodion Raskolnikov, a former student living in extreme poverty in St. Petersburg, as he grapples with morality, guilt, and the nature of crime. Raskolnikov's internal struggles and rationalizations set the stage for a broader exploration of existential questions and the consequences of one's choices.
