Crime and Punishment
Crime and Punishment is a psychological exploration of guilt, redemption, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in extreme circumstances. Fyodor Dostoevsky delves into the mind of Raskolnikov, a destitute former student who commits murder under the belief that extraordinary individuals are above conventional morality. The novel examines the psychological torment that follows his crime, contrasting his justifications with the reality of his conscience and the societal consequences of his actions. Through this, Dostoevsky critiques utilitarian ethics and explores the depths of human suffering and moral reckoning. Since its publication, Crime and Punishment has been widely recognized for its intense psychological depth and philosophical inquiry. The novel's exploration of free will, justice, and the struggle between rationalization and remorse has cemented its status as a cornerstone of world literature. Raskolnikov's internal conflict and his interactions with characters such as Sonya Marmeladov and Porfiry Petrovich continue to engage readers, offering profound insights into the human psyche. The novel's lasting significance lies in its ability to probe the darker recesses of human motivation while also affirming the possibility of redemption. By dissecting the intricate relationship between crime, conscience, and societal structure, Crime and Punishment compels readers to reflect on their own moral convictions and the nature of justice in an imperfect world.
Dostoevsky’s Religion

Any reader of Dostoevsky is immediately struck by the importance of religion within the world of his fiction. That said, it is very difficult to locate a coherent set of religious beliefs within Dostoevsky’s works, and to argue that the writer embraced these beliefs. This book provides a trenchant reassessment of his religion by showing how Dostoevsky used his writings as the vehicle for an intense probing of the nature of Christianity, of the individual meaning of belief and doubt, and of the problems of ethical behavior that arise from these questions. The author argues that religion represented for Dostoevsky a welter of conflicting views and stances, from philosophical idealism to nationalist messianism. The strength of this study lies in its recognition of the absence of a single religious prescription in Dostoevsky's works, as well as in its success in tracing the background of the ideas animating Dostoevsky’s religious probing.
