<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A seemingly well-reasoned justification of murder comes to pieces as the murderer is forced to confront the true nature of his crime.</b></p> <p>After much thought Rodion Raskolnikov determines that certain special people deserve the right to step outside of normal law and order to accomplish difficult deeds for the good of others and even humanity as a whole. Trapped in desperate poverty, he justifies his plan to rob and kill a rich, unpopular pawnbroker, reasoning that he will take the money, survive and go on to do good things for others. The terrible act of murder, and the unstoppable cascade of events that follow, throw Raskolnikov into a nightmare of mental unbalance and moral torment. One situation after another arises that drives home his guilt and shows how his brutal act has resulted in nothing but destruction and pain. A surprise visit from family and a policeman who seems teasingly, sardonically aware of his guilt thrust Raskolnikov into a position where he can't tell if even confession will supply meaningful redemption. First published in 1866, <i>Crime and Punishment</i> stands as one of the most acclaimed novels of all time and remains unsurpassed in its penetrating psychology and raw glimpses of a mind wracked by moral confusion and fundamental questions of how to do the right thing.</p> <p>With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of <i>Crime and Punishment</i> is both modern and readable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>Crime and Punishment</i> by <b>Fyodor Dostevsky</b> tells of Raskolnikov, who has found the ideal way to escape poverty. If he robs and murders a mean-spirited pawnbroker, he'll have money to survive and do good in the world. The scheme snowballs into a maze of desperation, guilt and madness in this undisputed masterpiece of psychological fiction.</p>
