Regarded as the world's greatest novelist and literary psychologist, Dostoevsky makes his works readable and enjoyable by presenting the political, social and religious issued of the 19th century Russia. This novel also comes in this line. The plot unravels the story of a poor university student Raskolnikov contemplating long and finally murdering an unscrupulous old pawnbroker for her money. He evades the hands of law, and even justifies his act that murder is permissible to attain a higher purpose and that the old pawnbroker deserves to be mudered. However, with the encouragement of his lady love Sonia, he confesses before law and is sentenced to eight years of hard labour pervades, and withe his release, he undergoes rebirth and resurrection. Basically, the novel carries the quintessence of Russian novels- the nature of good and evil. But beyond this, it also gives insightful treatment of themes like morality and atonement, and more essentially reverberates throughout the book, a religious call for redemtion through suffering.
Autorenporträt
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (11 November 1821-9 February 1881), was a Russian novelist, short-story writer, essayist and journalist. Dostoyevsky is usually regarded as one of the finest novelists who ever lived. Literary modernism, existentialism and various schools of psychology, theology and literary criticism have been profoundly shaped by his ideas. His works are often called prophetic because he so accurately predicted how Russia's revolutionaries would behave if they came to power. Dostoevsky's literary works explore the human condition in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His 1864 novella, Notes from Underground, is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature. Numerous literary critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. He specialized in the analysis of pathological states of mind that lead to insanity, murder and suicide and in the exploration of the emotions of humiliation, self-destruction, tyrannical domination and murderous rage. These major works are also renowned as great 'novels of ideas' that treat timeless and timely issues in philosophy and politics. Psychology and philosophy are closely linked in Dostoyevsky's portrayals of intellectuals, who 'feel ideas' in the depths of their souls. Finally, these novels broke new ground with their experiments in literary form.
