Ho sentito i personaggi come se fossero vivi e ho sofferto assieme a loro. Mi è rimasta impressa la scena in cui veniva sottolineato come affianco al cadavere di Katerina Ivanovna giacesse l'attestato che le ricordava sempre del suo passato nobile.

A Soul’s Descent and Redemption
4.5
Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment is a gripping plunge into guilt, paranoia, and ultimate redemption. Raskolnikov’s unraveling—panic and odd behavior begging for discovery—hooks you, while the emotional payoff of love and forgiveness lands hard. The scope and characters are deep, though not overwhelmingly epic, and the prose, while chatty and initially tricky, grows engaging with its underlying meanings: shame, isolation, and pain> The slow first half drags slightly, but the powerful themes make it a standout.

The best kind of books are the books that at their core are about love. I dont have a better example of this then Crime and Punishment. There is so much love in this book, so much love between these characthers and so much pain caused because and from the love they all share. Human connection is presented at the same time as a burden and as the reward, the thing you bear and what uplifts you. Romantic, familial, platonic even love between strangers.
This book just amazes me every single time I read it.

something about humanity, perseverance of love, wanting to be special and trying to achieve that goal, but failing because you are GOOD. because YOU WANT TO BE GOOD. and although you wish you weren't, you can't help but be GOOD.
L'ho ripreso in mano dopo tantissimi anni perché ho deciso di impegnarmi nella lettura della letteratura russa. Ho trovato molte difficoltà, sarà una vera sfida per me, ma non si può negare che questo libro è un capolavoro!
