What drives someone to kill in cold blood? What goes through the murderers mind? And what kind of a society breeds such people? Over 150 years ago Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky took these questions up in what would become one of the best-known works of Russian literature: Crime and Punishment. Alex Gendler digs into the classic novel's exploration of alienation, morality and redemption. Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by WOW-HOW Studio

I'm from Russia. I love my country very much. I am very sorry that it is now in the power of bandits, for 20 years. We do not have freedom of speech, poverty, living standards, as in Africa, and the number of rich people - in fourth place in the world. The whole country is being robbed. And it is not clear when it will end: (

Reading it right now. When I got to the part about the letter from his mother, about his sister, I was totally hooked.
Just read the part when the child embraces him for helping the family after his drunk father is run over by a horse and cart and subsequently dies - so touching.

Sink deeper into Dostoyevsky's moral quagmire by downloading a free audio version of Crime and Punishment from audible. com/ted-ed. And thanks! Every free trial started through this link helps support our nonprofit mission.

From dank taverns to dilapidated apartments and claustrophobic police stations, the underbelly of 19th century Saint Petersburg is brought to life by Dostoyevskys searing prose.

I had the Classic comicbook. That was my only source of the story. I was six years old and found the comic boring. That book has been long gone from my life.

I got a book The leopard but at that time i didn't know that this book is a part of a series. So can i still read the leopard without reading the previous books?

Im not really sure what I thought Crime and Punishment was about, but for some reason I always thought it was similar to Pride and Prejudice.

Sounds like a lot of books, movies, manga, etc wouldn't exist without this archetype. I immediately thought of Death Note.
