Gift book "Crime and Punishment" by F.M. Dostoevsky, in 2 volumes

One of the main novels in Russian and world literature was conceived in hard labor and written at a time of severe need. Crime and Punishment was published in 1886 in the Russian Bulletin magazine, which was preceded by refusals from other publishers. The first version of the novel was destroyed by the author, and Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky completed it at the same time as he was working on the novel "The Idiot" - deadlines and financial obligations were so tight.

"Crime and Punishment" has become part of the world cultural code, translated into all major languages, staged and filmed more than 20 times. He had a huge influence on Western literature, shaped the worldview and philosophy of modernism and existentialism. This novel is one of the keys to Russian national consciousness and self-identification.

Do we have the right to justify a Crime with the highest justice? What is violence? What kind of life can there be after evil? The search for answers to these questions has made Crime and Punishment one of the most widely read books in the world.
