«Crimen y castigo» is the novel by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky published by Planeta in paperback (504 pages, in Spanish).
Raskolnikov, a student who believes himself above ordinary mortals, kills an old moneylender to prove his theory. Far from feeling liberated, the crime drags him into a spiral of guilt, delirium and paranoia; the relationship between conscience and punishment and the redemptive power of suffering articulate the story.
Novel originally published in 1866; this 1988 edition belongs to the Planeta Universal Classics collection and includes an introduction by Carlos Pujol.
For readers of psychological fiction and the great classics of nineteenth-century Russian literature.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian philosopher, novelist, short-story writer, essayist and journalist. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in both Russian and world literature, and many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. Dostoevsky's literary works explore the human condition in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), The Adolescent (1875) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His Notes from Underground, a novella published in 1864, is considered one of the first works of existentialist literature.
