Is it not just, he reasons, for a man of genius to commit such a crime, to transgress moral law—if it will ultimately benefit humanity? So begins one of the greatest novels ever written: a powerful psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, a fascinating detective thriller infused with philosophical, religious and social commentary. Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in a garret in the gloomy slums of St. Petersburg, carries out his grotesque scheme and plunges into a hell of persecution, madness and terror. Crime and Punishment takes the reader on a journey into the darkest recesses of the criminal and depraved mind, and exposes the soul of a man possessed by both good and evil . . . a man who cannot escape his own conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66764166987891,"sku":"9780553211757","price":395.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1041\/4963\/files\/9780553211757.webp?v=1792397837","url":"https:\/\/nationalbookstore.com\/products\/bantam-crime-and-punishment-fiction-literature","provider":"National Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
