peak mental breakdown, a lot of ramblings and a 10/10 existential crisis this book is absolutely timeless, loved it even more now that my frontal lobe is developed emotional, engrossing and unsettlingly human

I loved this book, it was truly amazing, which is why I’m giving it five stars. My only practical criticism concerns the condition in which it arrived. It looked as though it had been used as a football before being shipped. That likely isn’t Orell Füssli’s fault, but it was still disappointing. My second critique concerns the description of the novel. It states that Raskolnikov commits a “random murder without remorse or regret,” which I find misleading. The murder is not random at all, he spends a long time contemplating and rationalising it in his mind. Moreover, remorse and psychological torment form the very heart of the novel. The entire structure is embedded in the title: first comes the crime, and then comes the punishment, not merely legal punishment, but the crushing weight of guilt and conscience. The description also suggests that Raskolnikov imagines himself to be a great man like Napoleon. While it is true that he develops a theory about “extraordinary” individuals who may act beyond conventional moral law, he is deeply conflicted about his own status. He does not confidently see himself as great; rather, he oscillates between intellectual arrogance and profound self-doubt. That internal struggle is what makes the novel so powerful. Despite my disappointment with the blurb, the book itself is a masterpiece. Its psychological depth and moral complexity are extraordinary, and that is why it fully deserves five out of five stars.

Arrivé rapidement et le livre est de bonne qualité. J'ai très hâte de le lire ♥️ Je vais sûrement en commander d'autres dans les semaines qui suivent. Je suis contente que je n'aime pas eu besoin d'attendre plus que 3 jours car je suis très impatiente.

I decided to read Crime and Punishment pretty spontaneously, only having heard bits and pieces about it here and there, needless to say I definitely don‘t regret picking up this book and reading it. Though it may not be for everyone, I do think its worth a try as it deals with many essential topics and questions regarding life and its meaning, especially for an individual that has decided to violate moral and ethical law. I do think its best to advise everyone who decides to read this book, to take their time. There is much to think about and reflect on while and also after reading the book.
