    In Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky explores the motivations of the young political zealot Raskolnikov as he puts his theory of murder into practice. His representation of Raskolnikov’s tortured consciousness before and after his crime and his path to redemption furnishes one of the most powerful investigations of the meaning of crime in world literature. At the same time, the work provides a complex picture of the political ideas circulating in Russia in the nineteenth century.

    We will use the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation.
