Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is an intense psychological drama that explores the mind of a murderer, laying bare its torment in minute detail. Rashkolnikov, an impoverished and destitute young man, oscillating between clarity of thought and abject melancholy in the aftermath of committing a gruesome murder, is plagued by suspicions, regrets, fears and hallucinations on his path to redemption in this incisive, emotional tale.
