About the book
Raskolnikov commits murder and is drawn into fever, guilt, investigation and the possibility of spiritual renewal.
A powerful choice for readers who want moral pressure, psychology, guilt, crime, poverty and intense inner conflict.
The novel is driven less by the question of who did it than by what guilt does to the person who did.
It suits readers asking for dark psychology, ethical conflict, spiritual struggle and a serious classic with momentum.
