Zločin i kazna
Crime and Punishment, one of the most significant novels of all time, is the work of the Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. This edition of Crime and Punishment was translated from Russian by Iso Velikanović.
Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov, a more ambitious student of law. Driven by extreme misery and a bleak future, he decides to kill and rob Alyona Ivanovna, a hated old woman who exploits people through usury. Apart from the fact that he plans to solve his own financial and family problems with murder, he also considers it ethically justified because, in his opinion, the lives of ordinary people who are in his way are worth nothing compared to the noble ideals he strives for; he believes that he, as an exceptional individual, is above the moral rules that bind other people. He carefully works out the plan, but still mistakes sneak up on him and attract the suspicion of the police; he himself becomes insecure about his own thoughts about the crime and despairs and longs for redemption. In the mental crisis he is going through, he is helped by his girlfriend Sonja Marmeladova, a suffering girl who humbly and passively holds herself against evil and life's adversities, and finds solace in Christianity.
