Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

3.0

---

My 4th Dostoevesky since I fell in love with the Brothers Karamazov two years ago. And while most readers probably choose Crime and Punishment as Dostoyevsky’s best, I would disagree. I can’t have any sympathy toward Raskolnikov, despite his mental illness. For me he is narcissistic and megalomaniac character. Perhaps those are the results of his mental illness? Yet, Doetoevsky successfully impressed me again by creating a psychologically challenging character completed with medical analysis.
