Fyodor Dostoevsky - Schuld und Suehne (deutsch -German)

by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Overview

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. This is the second of Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is the first great novel of his "mature period" of writing.

Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless parasite. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of such things, and even have the right to do them. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by connecting himself mentally with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose.

About the Author

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky November 11, 1821 – February 9, 1881 was a Russian writer of novels, short stories and essays. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. A Slavophile, nationalist and monarchist, he criticized the bourgeois, pre-materialist West and nihilism in many of his works. Although Dostoyevsky wrote books in the mid-1850s which were influenced by realist and romanticist writers, most notably by Dickens, Gogol and Balzac, his best remembered work was done in his last years, including such masterpieces as Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky overall wrote 11 complete novels, 3 novellas, 17 short novels and 3 essays. He is often acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky was born and raised within the grounds of the Mariinsky hospital. At an early age he was introduced to English, French, German and Russian literature, as well as to fairytales and legends. His mother's sudden death was devastating for Dostoyevsky, and he had to leave the private school for a much-hated military school. After his graduation he worked as an engineer and enjoyed briefly a primarily liberal lifestyle. Because of money issues he began to translate books to earn some money. Around the mid-1850s he wrote his first novel, Poor Folk, which pushed him into the mainstream. Because of his attendance on several socialist circles, he and other members were condemned to death, but the mock execution was overturned to four years prison in Siberia. After his release he worked as a soldier and had his first affair, and he later returned to St. Petersburg to continue writing books.

In the following years Dostoyevsky began to work as a journalist at first for conservative and Slavophile but later switching between left and right-wing periodicals. Beginning with his travel to Europe he suffered from money issues caused by his gambling addic (from Wikipedia)
