Crime And Punishment

incredible

This book is insane. It's definitely in my top 5 books and is my favourite classic book of all time. You wouldn't think that a classic could be so intense, yet this book just pulls you in with the raw emotions and images that the main character and others portray. DeFO read this one if you want to read a good classic.

The darkness of the human mind finds one of its greatest explorations in the apotheosis of the Russian penchant for pathos and darkness. Is anything permissable in a godless universe? FD was exploring the roots of morality through great stories long before modern science could explore these questions on a more clinical playing field.

A dark but brilliant psychological drama of depravity and redemption
