Crime and Punishment

The story centers on Raskolnikov, a troubled individual facing intense inner turmoil as he confronts themes of guilt, morality, and the quest for redemption. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century St. Petersburg, it offers a profound exploration of the human psyche and the repercussions of a bold, desperate act. Dostoevsky's work is a compelling examination of the complexities of conscience and the struggle for atonement.
