Crime and Punishment. The Idiot

Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of the greatest Russian writers whose works address deep philosophical and moral problems. This edition combines two of his famous novels. “Crime and Punishment” is a tense, psychologically intense story about the young student Rodion Raskolnikov, who, having committed a crime, attempts to justify himself with the theory of the Übermensch and faces the torments of conscience and inevitable punishment. “The Idiot” is a novel about the sincere, noble Prince Myshkin, who, returning to Russia after treatment in Switzerland, encounters the cruelty and baseness of the surrounding world, striving to bring goodness and light into it through his pure motives. Both works explore the subtle aspects of human nature, the struggle between good and evil, and questions of moral choice, making them eternal literary classics.
