Audiobook Summary-
Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment is a classic work of psychological fiction that examines guilt, morality, and the conscience of human beings. A poor student in St. Petersburg, Raskolnikov kills brutally, under the delusion that he stands above common law. The crime, however, starts deconstructing his mind as paranoia and guilt get hold of him. Tormented by inner suffering, he struggles with justification, redemption, and the real gravity of his deed. The book explores issues of loneliness, poverty, and the dual nature of man, presenting a bleak picture of 19th-century Russian society. Dostoevsky employs Raskolnikov's psychological deterioration to explore existential and philosophical concerns that remain relevant today. With its penetrating moral inquiry and emotional complexity, Crime and Punishment is a contemporary literary classic. Perfect for readers looking for thought-evoking stories and intense character study, this book compels readers to think about what really makes up justice and humanity.
