There is no more gripping novel in the world (Michael Dirda). Yet, at its heart, this masterpiece of literary realism is ultimately an immersive tale of passion and redemption-indeed, the best of all murder stories (Harold Bloom), most perfect in pacing and structure. Readers of all backgrounds have debated its historical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions, probing the moral and ethical dilemmas that Dostoevsky so brilliantly stages throughout his narrative. Published to great acclaim and fierce controversy in 1866, Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment has left an indelible mark on global literature and our modern world, and is still known worldwide as the quintessential Russian novel.
