ABOUT THE BOOK
‘One death, in exchange for thousands of lives – it’s simple arithmetic!’
The impoverished student Raskolnikov decides to free himself from debt by killing an old moneylender, an act he believes will raise him above conventional morality. Like Napoleon, he will assert his will, and his crime will be justified by the greater good. But Raskolnikov is torn apart by fear, guilt and a growing conscience, under the influence of his love for Sonya – while the detective Porfiry closes in.
A powerful psychological novel in which the St Petersburg setting, Dostoevsky’s own circumstances and the social problems of his day all play their part, in a new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater.
