À propos de cet e-book

In "Crime and Punishment," Fyodor Dostoyevsky delves into the psychological turmoil of Raskolnikov, a former student plagued by poverty and a misguided theory of exceptionalism. Set against the gritty backdrop of St. Petersburg, the novel showcases Dostoyevsky's mastery of complex characters and moral dilemmas, employing a realist literary style that intricately weaves philosophical expositions with the narrative's suspenseful progression. Themes of guilt, redemption, and the human condition permeate the text, inviting readers to grapple with the nature of crime and the possibility of salvation in a seemingly indifferent universe. Dostoyevsky, influenced by his own experiences with poverty, exile, and psychological struggle, constructed this seminal work in the context of 19th-century Russian society, which was rife with social injustice and intellectual upheaval. His personal confrontations with faith, nihilism, and morality remarkably shaped his narrative choices, making Raskolnikov's journey a reflection of Dostoyevsky's own existential dilemmas and philosophical inquiries. Recommended for those who seek a profound exploration of human nature, "Crime and Punishment" is a timeless meditation on morality that resonates with contemporary discussions on ethics and psychological introspection. Readers will not only engage with Raskolnikov's plight but also find themselves questioning the very fabric of justice and compassion in society.

À propos de l'auteur

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky stands among the pantheon of great Russian authors, revered for his profound explorations of psychology, philosophy, and the human condition. Born in Moscow on November 11, 1821, he lived until January 28, 1881, traversing a life marred by turbulence, including dire financial straits and a harrowing stint in a Siberian labor camp. Dostoyevsky's masterful command of the novel form is epitomized in his seminal work, 'Crime and Punishment' (1866), a cornerstone of existential literature that delves into the moral anguish of Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who grapples with the repercussions of a murder he commits. This harrowing exploration stands not merely as a compelling narrative but epitomizes Dostoyevsky's relentless dissection of societal norms and the human psyche. His intricate narrative structure, psychological depth, and profound ethical analysis have solidified his literary genius, earning him a permanent place as a titan of world literature. A relentless seeker of spiritual and existential truths, Dostoyevsky's works continually invite readers to ponder the complexities of conscience, redemption, and the human soul.
