A critical masterpiece by the celebrated Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, published in 1866, 'Crime and Punishment' is considered one of the greatest works of world literature. Originally published as a series of monthly installments, readers follow the story of Russian student Rodion Raskolnikov as he ponders killing and stealing from a wealthy but dubious pawnbroker. Raskolnikov finds himself within a perplexing moral dilemma, which only deepens as the story progresses and becomes more complicated, with numerous twists and turns, mental distraction and distress, and a study of familial bonds and poverty.
