Crime and Punishment: Novel. English Edition | Elegant gift edition with sprayed edges | One of the most gripping psychological novels in world literature

In the sweltering streets of St Petersburg, impoverished former student Rodion Raskolnikov convinces himself that one ruthless act can liberate him—and prove his theory that extraordinary people stand above the law. The murder he commits, however, opens a labyrinth of fear, fever, and moral reckoning. As the relentless investigator Porfiry closes in and the compassionate Sonia offers a different path, Raskolnikov is driven toward confession, punishment, and the hard-won possibility of redemption. Dostoyevsky’s masterpiece is a psychological thriller and a profound inquiry into guilt, justice, and the price of pride. Taut, unsettling, and fiercely humane, it captures a city on the edge—and a mind at war with itself. A novel of poverty and power, reason and faith, it still reads with shocking immediacy.
