About the book: The work was written in 1866. But just as human experiences are not old and new, so is the value of the novel. "Poverty is not a sin, but lack is a vice. In the first one, a person can preserve the innate noble qualities, but in absence, no one can preserve them", one of the characters in the work explains this statement to the main character based on real life examples. Raskolnikov, who is a former student of the university, cannot draw an appropriate conclusion from this statement. As a result, he commits an incredible crime in order to get out of poverty, get rich quickly and gain a high position. The tragic aspect is that the hero justifies his crime. But the laws of life do not allow a just crime to go unpunished. Mental punishment forces the criminal to confess his guilt. In the novel, along with the continuous suffering of this terrible murder, there is also a beautiful image of love, which makes the heart of the reader involuntarily tremble.
