A great work of psychological and existentialist literature that influenced Nietzsche

This but it's Dostoyevsky's lesser of his three big novels

I read it as a mystery/crime novel because I am retarded and missed whatever the point of the book was supposed to be

[Anonymous No.16837978]

a great ending

Yeah, I couldn’t believe Raskolkinov murdered her, I was not expecting that twist at the end

[Anonymous No.16838034]

woah. didn't know that already!

[Anonymous No.16838177]

The equivalent of channel surfing between a really good Columbo episode, an Orthodox televangelist sermon, and soap opera reruns. One of my favorite books.

you mean four big novels? idiot, demons, karamazov and c&p. pagewise, the adolescent is a big novel too, but literally no one reads it.

[Anonymous No.16838487]

>>16837884
big if true

[Anonymous No.16838499]

Yeah I forgot Demons, it's also the only one I haven't read

Kek pretty accurate

Do you think so? Felt a bit unfinished to me. The narrator even hints at a sequel which never got written.

>The narrator even hints at a sequel which never got written.
And what would that sequel be? We already have a pretty solid idea of all the characters' futures: Raskolnikov will serve 10 years in prison and will leave with Sonia, and Razumikhin marries his sister.

Get an overview on the great man theory of history before you read it. You don't have to be an expert just skim the wiki page, it'll help.

[Anonymous No.16840595]

some crime and some punishment

[Anonymous No.16840763]

There was plenty of punishment of his soul throughout the book

But that's not enough, he killed an innocent woman.

[Anonymous No.16841003]

this book made me really anxious while reading through it.

[Anonymous No.16841031]

>>16840998
He killed two innocent women

But I think the torment of his soul from committing sin is a big part of the punishment part in Crime and Punishment

At least, that's how i read it

If you've ever seen Columbo you know what to expect. This novel actually inspired the makes of Columbo. C&P is probably the first popular Columbo type story where at the very beginning you know who was killed, you know who did it, you know everything except... how will they be caught? How will they break?

My favourites were the "and just one more thing" exchanges with the police inspector

As a criminal I can believe it. The time between my arrest and my sentencing, I was losing my fucking mind. The uncertainty is what gets to you.
