"Out of Shakespeare there is no more exciting reading" -Virginia Woolf

Look Inside the Book

The story begins with Raskolnikov poor, hungry, and wanting to kill the old lady who owns the local pawnshop. Drunks, a prostitute who fends for her family, policemen, and obsessive mothers complete the memorable cast of characters. Dostoevsky’s world-class novel about guilt and sin is comparable to a Macbeth or Hamlet, and is just as haunted by the possibility of Christian forgiveness. More than that, it ends with one of the most hopeful scenes in all modern literature.
