Description: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky Leather bound Published by International Collector's Library Copyright 1953 408 pages This book was part of my uncle's estate. I seriously question if it has ever been read because the spine cracked as I opened it. Excellent condition for its age. Thank you for looking! From Wikipedia:Crime and Punishment follows the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in Saint Petersburg who plans to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker, an old woman who stores money and valuable objects in her flat. He theorises that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds, and seeks to convince himself that certain crimes are justifiable if they are committed in order to remove obstacles to the higher goals of 'extraordinary' men. Once the deed is done, however, he finds himself wracked with confusion, paranoia, and disgust. His theoretical justifications lose all their power as he struggles with guilt and horror and is confronted with both internal and external consequences of his deed.
