The poverty-stricken Raskolnikov, believing he is exempt from moral law, murders a man only to face the consequences not only from society but from his conscience, in this seminal story of justice, morality, and redemption from one of Russia's greatest novelists.


Determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammelled individual will, Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the Tsars, commits an act of murder and theft and sets into motion a story which, for its excrutiating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its profundity of characterization and vision, is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky's masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imagination.
《罪与罚》一开始就描写主人公杀人前一天所作的准备及其复杂矛盾的心理，随后即是血淋淋的杀人场面。第二部至第六部则是凶手那宛如地狱般的内心世界的刻画。当然，书中还有许多其他人物和线索，如马美拉多夫一家的命运、自觉地受苦受难以洗刷灵魂的索尼娅、“一切为了个人”的“聪明人”卢仁、卑劣的酒色之徒斯维里加洛夫、负责侦讯工作的预审官波尔费利等等，但这些人物和线索都是为这条主线服务的。在小说中，作家陀妥耶夫基运用连续的内心独白、对话、争论以及梦幻等形式，描写了主人公行凶前后的心理变态、怀疑症、热病、与亲人的疏远、下意识的行动、精神分裂式的压抑、苦闷、发狂……把一颗在苦难中绝望挣扎的灵魂剖析得淋漓尽致。那昏暗的烛光下杀人犯与卖淫妇抱头痛哭的图景，拉斯柯尼科夫自首前与母亲生离死别的场面，深深地印在读者心中。
