Crime and Punishment

One of the images of «Crime and Punishment» is a large city of the second half of the 19th century, where life is full of conflicts and dramas. But what happens in the souls of the inhabitants of this city turns out to be much larger in scale. The murder of the old pawnbroker by Raskolnikov is known even to those who have never opened this book. However, what led to the tragedy, and especially what happened to the hero after it, can only be superficially described even by those who have read the novel. A paradox! This is conditioned by the incredible psychological depth that the author plunged into while exploring the problem of the «strong personality», unafraid of pangs of conscience and human judgment. And the vast cosmos of the human soul that he extracted from it.
