In St Petersburg, Raskolnikov, a very poor former student, lives in a tiny room under the roof. He has convinced himself that certain exceptional men have the right to break the law, and he kills an old pawnbroker with an axe. From then on, fear and fever never leave him, while the cunning and patient magistrate Porfiry seems to read his thoughts.
We know from the start who the murderer is, and yet the suspense never lets up: everything happens in his conscience.
With the translation always in front of you, you can read this masterpiece by Dostoevsky in the language you are learning.
