«Crimen y castigo» is the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published by Debolsillo in hardback (688 pages, in Spanish).
The young student Raskolnikov, ruined and convinced that certain ends justify crime, kills an old moneylender; from then on, guilt consumes him as he wanders through St. Petersburg. Dostoevsky builds a psychological narrative about conscience, morality, and the possibility of redemption, with unforgettable characters and an oppressive atmosphere.

For readers of universal classics and fiction of psychological depth, especially those interested in 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.
