This book is wonderful. If you have the discipline to make it through heavy Russian novels, you will be enriched by this book's lessons. Dostoevsky masterfully depicts the protagonist in such as way as to make the reader empathize with him even though he is a murderer. Pointing to the dual nature of man--we are all part angel and part animal--Dostoevsky shows how Raskolnikov takes life without compunction one moment, yet how he feels pity and shows heroic generosity the next. Redemption through suffering and salvation through love are central themes of this book and point to transcendent truths that are important especially in an age of relativism and normative virtues. An atheist may find this book a difficult one to read.   hide

At last, I can say I've finished a "classic", with all the cultural smugness that goes with it!

this book clearead a situation about that conditions which makes a man culprit due to his struggle against life

Excelente
