Description

Crime and Punishment is set in St Petersburg and paints a vivid picture 18th century Russia before the revolution brought with it the winds of change. The book portrays the rampant poverty and unending pain and suffering of the proletariat. It is in such ghastly circumstances that the character of Raskolnikov is born. The book tells a tale of poverty and suffering and describes how the wretched existence of the student Raskolnikov leads him to stray from the path of righteousness. He eventually commits a gruesome murder. It is the act of committing the murder that pushes his psyche into a tumultuous state of conflict. It is this conflict that gives rise to Raskolnikov's pursuit of redemption. The book is a tragic story of a brilliant but deeply conflicted student called Raskolnikov. It is through Raskolnikov that the author tries to pave a path from suffering to salvation. The book captures the heart of humanity and gives its readers the hope that no one is beyond salvation. Crime and Punishment was published in 2013 by Rupa Publications India and is available in paperback.
