Overview

One of the masterpieces of world literature, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky is the story of moral consequences falling upon a man who believed himself to be unaffected by moral law. Rodion Raskolnikov plots a murder for financial gain of a woman he considers unscrupulous thereby seemingly justifying his crime since he promises himself, he will go on to perform good deeds with the bounty. However, in retrospect he is racked with guilt. He becomes paranoid and confused as he struggles with the horror that is the reality of this crime. Though written in 1866, its story holds sway over a century later and the great suspense directors Alfred Hitchcock and Jordan Peterson have both called this literary classic a masterpiece.<br>

"En büyük günahın, bir hiç uğruna kendini mahvetmiş ve kendine ihanet etmiş olmandır."

acı insanın en büyük öğretmenidir. Çünkü mutluluk çoğu zaman yuzeyseldir; fakat acı, insanı kendi gerçeğiyle yüzleştirir. Karanlıktan kaçan değil, onun içinden geçen kişi olgunlaşır.
