Crime and Punishment - Chapter I
In the sweltering streets of St. Petersburg, an impoverished former student commits a murder he believes is justified, an act of intellect, not evil. But Rodion Raskolnikov soon discovers that no theory can silence the human conscience. Hunted by a cunning detective and haunted by his own mind, he descends into a fevered struggle between guilt and redemption.<br /><br />Dostoevsky's towering masterpiece is at once a gripping psychological thriller and a profound meditation on morality, suffering, and the possibility of salvation. Few novels cut so deeply into the human soul, and none let go so reluctantly.<br />
