Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the greatest explorations of the human mind and morality ever written. The story follows Raskolnikov, a former student in St. Petersburg, who believes he can commit the perfect crime and justify it in the name of a greater good. But as he descends deeper into his own guilt and paranoia, the consequences of his actions unravel his sense of self, pushing him to the edge.

This novel is a deep study of the internal struggles we face based on the choices we make. It asks complex philosophical questions about justice, redemption, and the nature of right and wrong. I love how Dostoyevsky weaves these philosophical elements into the narrative, making it more than just a crime story—it’s a reflection on the very core of the human condition.

If you’re looking for a book that challenges your worldview and keeps you thinking long after the last page, Crime & Punishment is an absolute must-read.
