Summary "El crimen y el castigo" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a profound novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores themes of morality, guilt, and redemption as it follows the story of Raskolnikov, a former student living in poverty in St. Petersburg. It delves into his psychological turmoil as he grapples with a radical philosophical belief that some individuals may be above moral law, setting the stage for a chilling exploration of crime and its consequences. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Raskolnikov, a young man living in a cramped garret, who is deeply troubled by his financial situation and his isolation from society. As he ventures out into the oppressive heat of July, he feels a mix of anxiety and disdain for his surroundings, simultaneously contemplating a dark and audacious idea. His internal monologue reveals a state of agitation, foreshadowing his imminent decision to commit a terrible act. The opening sets a grim atmosphere, establishing Raskolnikov's character as he interacts with the inhabitants of his city, including a desperate pawnbroker from whom he seeks to pawn a watch. This initial encounter hints at his larger, darker intentions and lays the groundwork for the moral dilemmas he will face throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
