One of the greatest works of fiction ever written, Crime and Punishment is at once an intense psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, and a fascinating detective thriller instilled with philosophical, religious, and social commentary.
Dostoevsky studies the psychological impact upon a desperate and impoverished student when he murders a despicable pawnbroker, transgressing moral law to ultimately “benefit humanity.” After killing the old woman, haunted by guilt and terror, the young man must decide whether to assuage his conscience by confessing or attempt to get away with the perfect crime.
Crime and Punishment takes the listener on a journey into the darkest recesses of the criminal and depraved mind and exposes the soul of a man possessed by both good and evil who cannot escape his own conscience.

The depth of this book is equivalent to the height of it's greatness. So profound, so deep into the mind of an individual... I felt like Dostoyevsky thought about these during his sentence in Siberia so, each paragraph has the detail which he had envisioned for days or months or years. You should read this if you want to experience the mind of person who is headed from dread to salvation
