This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition? includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader nderstand the turbulent and dynamic world of Dostoevsky's St. Petersburg. When Raskolnikov, a young student, is driven to murder by desperate poverty and a belief in his own superiority, he is plunged into a dark hell of guilt and delirium. Set in the gloomy slums of St. Petersburg in the 1860s, this stark and gripping psychological tale describes a man's search for redemption in the face of suffering and a society's search for meaning in the chaos of a changing world.Shortly after returning from a decade-long exile in Siberia, Dostoevsky fled creditors only to end up living in destitution in Austria. Staying in a hotel he couldn't afford, with barely enough money for tea, he composed this masterfully modern examination of a murderer's mind.
