Samenvatting:

Crime and Punishment is a psychological masterpiece that delves into the complexities of morality, guilt, and redemption. Set in the grim streets of 19th-century St. Petersburg, the novel follows Rodion Raskolnikov, a young and impoverished ex-student who wrestles with his own ideology and desperate circumstances. Convinced that extraordinary individuals have the right to transgress moral laws for the greater good, Raskolnikov commits a brutal murder, believing it to be a necessary step to achieve greatness. As he struggles to justify his crime, the weight of guilt begins to erode his mental and emotional stability. His encounters with the compassionate Sonia, a self-sacrificing woman of faith, and the relentless detective Porfiry Petrovich lead Raskolnikov on a harrowing journey of self-discovery and confrontation with his conscience. This gripping tale explores profound themes such as the nature of sin, the consequences of pride, and the possibility of redemption. Dostoevsky's masterful character development and philosophical depth make Crime and Punishment a timeless exploration of the human soul.
