Annotation: Raskolnikov, a former student who is morbidly self-obsessed, murders an old woman money-lender with a borrowed hatchet in a desperate attempt to free himself from poverty. From the opening pages Dostoyevsky attaches us unflinchingly to his intense and mysterious anti-hero, creating a web of intimacy and tension which is increasingly claustrophobic. Crime and guilt - its traumatic and inevitable successor - are the central themes running through the novel and the notions of ‘justifiable’ murder and worldly retribution are depicted with a deft and razor-sharp precision Number of copies: 1 ІЛ (1) Free: ІЛ (1) |
