Synopsis

Told in intense, compelling tones, the novel centres on Raskolnikov, an impoverished student driven to murder an old woman and then consumed by his own thoughts. In the wake of the crime, guilt and terror press in, leading him towards confession and imprisonment.

From within prison, he comes to a stark understanding: happiness and redemption are bound to suffering. Suitable for adult readers of classic literary fiction.
