Crimen y Castigo

No one has portrayed human psychology as Fyodor Dostoyevsky did. His work, a true reflection of a complex and tormented personality, marks one of the heights of the universal narrative. Admired by generations of readers and authors, Crimen y castigo chronicles the murder committed by Rodion Raskolnikov, an arrogant and indebted student whose nihilism anticipates existentialist literature. His descent into hell runs parallel to that of the city of Saint Petersburg, in full decline, which Dostoyevsky portrays with a firm hand and a gallery of absolutely memorable characters.

Fiodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevski published Poor People, his first novel, in 1846. His last work, completed a few months before his death and considered by himself as his best work, was The Brothers Karamazov.
