Gray, damp Petersburg is filled not only with the capital's high society, but also with frozen beggars wandering in the shadows. Their lives are filled with suffering and struggle for a piece of bread and a corner under the roof of an unreliable little house. There in the darkness, a poor student, carried away by philosophy and pity for his existence, decides to take a step that is low and disgusting to any worthy person. There in the darkness, he decides to commit murder.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky nurtured the idea of this novel while in penal servitude and communicating not only with political criminals, but also with thieves and murderers. Much struck him then in their speeches and judgments. And for the first time, he revealed to the Russian reader of the 19th century the thoughts and feelings of a murderer and representatives of the lower classes, which caused indignation in high society, but subsequently achieved worldwide recognition.
