From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder. From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime. The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised awareness of the world’s harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality.Language: RussianCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 178mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 66mmAuthor: Fyodor DostoevskyTranslator: Constance GarnettContributor: Constance Garnett (Translated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionBook Series: Wordsworth Collector's EditionsItem Weight: 800gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
