Product description
For 50 years Classic Illustrated books have provided an introduction to the world's greatest works of literature. Brilliantly recolored and reprinted as lively study guides for high school and college students, these books feature essays on the author, background, theme, characters and significance of the work. What does it take to drive a man to madness? How much pressure, poverty, and misery can a young man endure before he commits an unspeakable crime? Once the Russian student Raskolnikov looks into the face of terror, can he ever find redemption? And if he does, will he deserve it? (Digest)
Mired in poverty, the student Raskolnikov nevertheless thinks well of himself. Of his pawnbroker he takes a different view, and in deciding to do away with her he sets in motion his own tragic downfall. Dostoyevsky's penetrating novel of an intellectual whose moral compass goes haywire, and the detective who hunts him down for his terrible crime, is a stunning psychological portrait, a thriller and a profound meditation on guilt and retribution.
