After drinking, he falls asleep in a grassy area nearby. He dreams of an event in his childhood where he saw a group of peasants delight in beating an old mare to death. In his dream a young boy cries out against the sadistic act, and cuddles the mare's head in his hands before his father drags him away. Raskolnikov awakes in a cold sweat. On a whim, while heading home, he walks by the Haymarket, where he happens to see the mean Pawnbroker's sister, Lizaveta, talking with a salesman. Raskolnikov agrees to meet the salesman at 7pm on the following day, confirming to Raskolnikov that the pawnbroker will be home alone on the following evening. He walks home stricken with horror while reflecting on the event, feeling as though the crime were manifesting itself in front of him.

He decides to pawn the watch nonetheless so that he can watch the woman and observe her apartment so he can commit his crime. The woman keeps all of her money and pawned items in a chest in her room that is out of view. Before leaving, Raskolnikov tells her that he will be back in a few more days with better item.

This isn't trueAdrenal insufficiency syndrome is real, but it's not related to exercise or coffee.

These areas in the cerebral cortex send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers the release of acetylcholine to activate the adrenal medulla The Technological Republic – Palantir CEO Alex Karp & Stanley Druckenmiller In Conversation Talented people want to be around other talented people: If you are starting a team that already consists of immensely talented people, then other A-players will want to join; this dynamic positively compounds with time and becomes reflexiveThe type of person you want to hire: A truth-seeking, justice-seeking, fairness fanatic, who is justifiably snobby about their intellect (but not because of where they went to school) and who pushes responsibility into their area of expertise and takes over – and who, at the margin, may be unusual and difficultThe moral and ethical conundrums of modern warfare: The West is at technological parity with its adversaries, but not morally; our adversaries are far more willing to send their young men and women to die on the battlefield than we areOn AI Accelerationism – The US military does not have a choice regarding AI accelerationism; its adversaries will not slow down AI progress, and therefore, the game theory is such that the US cannot slow down eitherLaw School Sucks: “I thought of it as moral sophistry in the service of prestige.”Go Woke, Go Broke: “The Valley has realized that you just cannot placate the anti-intellectual left. It will destroy your business.” – Alex Karp* Basic things that most sane believe in are fairness, meritocracy, inputs being even across society, and that the outputs will not be evenly distributed* “Our society is crying for things that work. The instruments of measurement have been corroded everywhere.” – Alex KarpThe Left Broke Everything: People are sick of their border not being a border, their United Nations not being united, their schools not functioning as schools, and their government only taking inflows but not creating productive outflowsAn Essentialism Future: Every institution must clearly define its purpose, be transparent in what it spends to reach its objectives, and measure its output – which should be greater than its input Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast (#456) Peace Through Strength: " “I think that we share a position on peace through strength. That is very important. It means that if you are strong, you can speak.” - ZelenskyyTrump can stop this war: “I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the European leaders always ask, “How was it?” This shows the influence of Donald Trump, and this has never happened before with an American president.” – ZelenskyyNo US, No NATO: If the U.S. left NATO, it would essentially fall apart. The U.S. is critical to NATO's strength and global security. The role America played in World War II shows how much its support matters in conflicts like thisForgiveness? “Russia will have to apologize. This will happen because they are guilty.”– ZelenskyyUkraine's future is with Europe, not Russia: “I think the most important thing is to remain open and not change our direction because culturally aligning with Russia, it's one idea, while aligning with Europe is another. Our people have chosen Europe. It's their choice, it's our choice, the choice of our nation, and I think it's very important.” – Zelenskyy Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky | Philosophize This! with Stephen West (#219) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky: A tormented man wrestles with guilt and morality after a desperate act, unraveling a gripping exploration of justice, redemption, and the human soul.“Rational utopianism” – A belief that suggests through utilitarian rational calculations, we can arrive at moral truth and create a utopian socialist system of organizing people that can be perfected if this moral calculus improves over time2 Problems with rational utopianism and Russian nihilism:* (1) Consider how quickly Raskolnikov's perfectly crafted plan resulted in an innocent person getting an axe to the head; and* (2) The rational egoism that often accompanies Russian nihilism magically places Raskolnikov at the center of the decision-maker processRaskolnikov is not an example of Nietzsche's Ubermensch: Instead, he is an example of a very particular kind of nihilism that was gaining popularity in Russia at the time Dostoevsky wrote the bookYou're Not That Special: Dostoevsky was very skeptical of any individual who thought they were special compared to the people around themThe Stories We Tell Ourselves: “It is uniquely possible in this modern world to exist in a way where your whole life never becomes about facing the discomfort of looking at yourself honestly, but about endlessly rationalizing your behavior and then coming up with a story that sounds pretty good about it.” – Stephen WestSave What You Can: The choices that we have to make are not always optimal and they are often dictated by circumstances that are outside of our control; but no matter the circumstances in this sometimes horrible world, there is always at least some personal salvation that is possible in consent and affirmation of our place in a relational networkAccountability: Taking accountability for what you are wrong about is one of the only ways to grow as a person and is one of the most powerful things that you can do in your life Thank you for subscribing.

Fiodor Dostoïevski, écrivain russe majeur du XIXe siècle, a marqué l'histoire littéraire avec ses œuvres explorant les thèmes de la culpabilité, de la morale et du salut. Condamné en 1849 pour des activités révolutionnaires, il échappe de justesse à la mort et purge quatre ans de travaux forcés en Sibérie, une expérience qui le transforme profondément. Son roman Crime et Châtiment (1866) raconte l'histoire de Raskolnikov, un meurtrier tourmenté, et interroge les frontières du bien et du mal dans une société marquée par la misère. Dostoïevski y expose l'âme humaine dans toute sa complexité, mêlant souffrance, rédemption et questionnements existentiels. Rongé par les dettes, le deuil et son addiction au jeu, il traverse une vie tourmentée tout en développant une vision nationaliste et religieuse du monde. Malgré ses positions controversées, son œuvre puissante reste universelle, touchant les générations de lecteurs. Dostoïevski est à la fois un explorateur des ténèbres humaines et un penseur visionnaire, capable de transformer la souffrance en art.

Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donate Crime and Punishment is the second of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia, and is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. The novel focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in an attempt to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime while ridding the world of a vermin, and to test a theory of his that some people are naturally superior and have the right to commit crimes if it is in pursuit of a higher purpose.

"Le Classico" de Sébastien Ministru : "Crime et Châtiment" de Fiodor Dostoïevski. À Saint-Pétersbourg, en 1865, Raskolnikov, un jeune noble sombre et altier, renfermé mais aussi généreux, a interrompu ses études faute d'argent. Endetté auprès de sa logeuse qui lui loue une étroite mansarde, il se sent écrasé par sa pauvreté. Mais il se croit aussi appelé à un grand avenir et, dédaigneux de la loi morale, se pense fondé à commettre un crime : ce qu'il va faire bientôt – de manière crapuleuse. Publié en huit livraisons par Le Messager russe au cours de l'année 1866, le roman de Dostoïevski montre en Raskolnikov un témoin de la misère, de l'alcoolisme et de la prostitution que l'auteur décrit sans voiles, un criminel aussi qui ne sait trop pourquoi il l'est devenu, tant les raisons qu'il s'invente pour agir sont contradictoires. Mais la tragédie n'exclut pas la vision d'une vie lumineuse, et le châtiment de son crime va lui permettre un long cheminement vers la vérité, et la renonciation à sa mélancolie brutale. Après quoi sera possible ce que l'épilogue annonce : l'initiation de Raskolnikov à une réalité nouvelle, le passage d'un monde à un autre monde.

In this episode of Parsha & Prose, we delve into the profound themes of the double Torah portion, Netzavim-Va'yelech, through the lens of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Just as the main character in 'Crime and Punishment', Raskolnikov, grapples with his moral dilemmas and the weight of his actions, the Israelites stand at a pivotal moment, choosing between obedience and rebellion. This portion emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility and the consequences of our choices, echoing Raskolnikov's internal struggle with guilt and redemption. We'll explore how the calls for repentance and the promise of renewal in Netzavim-Va'yelech resonate with Dostoevsky's exploration of sin and atonement, inviting us to reflect on our own moral journeys and the paths we choose. Join us as we navigate these complex narratives of human nature, accountability, and the quest for forgiveness. The show is brought to you by The Professional Centre.

In Dostoevsky's book Crime and Punishment, the character Raskolnikov says, “All people seem to be divided into 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary'. The ordinary people must lead a life of strict obedience and have no right to transgress the law because they are ordinary. Whereas the extraordinary people have the right to commit any crime they like…just because they happen to be extraordinary.” Spoken like a true psychopath, my dude. It probably won't surprise you to hear that Raskolnikov murders an old woman in that book—not just for the money, but to prove to himself how “extraordinary” he is. That the rules most of us abide by aren't for him. Today's case is about a modern-day Raskolnikov—a self-proclaimed intellectual whose grandiose narcissism hid a deep well of rage and insecurity, and led him to not only commit a brutal murder, but to tell us all about it on his blog.

This week, Meduza spoke to Dr. Sergey Radchenko about his next book, To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming in 2024), which explores the era's diplomatic history, focusing on how narratives of legitimacy offer crucial insights for interpreting Moscow's motivations and foreign policy. The conversation covers telling anecdotes about prominent world leaders like Richard Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev, and Leonid Brezhnev, their psychology, and how individual quirks shaped world events. Dr. Radchenko explains how resentment and the need for legitimacy and recognition drove Soviet decision-making in ways that past literature about communist ideology and imperialism fails to capture.

Globe-commissioned world premiere By Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen Directed by Gordon Greenberg Dostoevsky's turn-of-the-century masterpiece is reimagined as a 90-minute romp of a morality tale, performed by five ridiculously talented actors who play over 50 zany characters, riffing on the famous novel—and all of Russian literature. The brilliant comic team of Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen (Ebenezer Scrooge's BIG San Diego Christmas Show) brings to 1860s Russia the same whacked-out sensibility they gave to Dickens in this world-premiere, Globe-commissioned comedy. This classic story follows Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who becomes a murderer in order to save his family. Based on the book you didn't actually read in high school, this is literature retold like you've never seen it before.

A Dark Tale: Crime and Punishment Summary & ReviewCrime and Punishment is a novel written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published in 1866. The story is set in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the mid-19th century. It follows the life of Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student who plans and commits a brutal murder. The novel explores his psychological turmoil, moral dilemmas, and the consequences of his actions. Raskolnikov's motive for the murder is rooted in his belief that some individuals are extraordinary and possess the right to transgress societal norms. He considers himself one such person, convinced that he can commit the crime for the greater good of society. However, after the act, Raskolnikov is tormented by guilt and paranoia as he wrestles with the morality of his actions. Throughout the novel, Raskolnikov's mental state deteriorates, leading to his eventual confession and redemption. Alongside his personal journey, Dostoevsky delves into various social issues prevalent at the time, including poverty, crime, and the struggle for basic human dignity. The book is a profound exploration of guilt, redemption, and human nature. With its complex characters, gripping storyline, and thought-provoking themes, it remains a timeless classic. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deep understanding of the human condition and the moral dilemmas we face in our lives. The Writer of Crime and Punishment: Fyodor DostoevskyFyodor Dostoevsky was one of the most influential Russian writers of the 19th century. Born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow, Dostoevsky led a tumultuous life filled with personal struggles and profound literary achievements. Dostoevsky's early years were marked by financial difficulties and familial hardships. His father's death in 1839 plunged the family into poverty, forcing him to abandon his dreams of joining the military academy and instead pursue a career as a writer. In 1846, he published his first novel, Poor Folk, which gained him critical acclaim but limited financial success. However, his literary aspirations took a backseat when he became involved in a radical political group called the Petrashevsky Circle. Their progressive ideas and discussions caught the attention of the authorities, leading to Dostoevsky's arrest in 1849 under charges of participating in revolutionary activities. He was sentenced to death but received a last-minute reprieve and was instead sent to a Siberian prison camp for four years. During his time in prison, Dostoevsky experienced profound transformations. He reflected on his actions and beliefs, delving deeply into the complexities of human nature, morality, religion, and the nature of suffering. These themes would later become central in his literary works. After his release from prison, Dostoevsky faced immense challenges and struggled to rebuild his life. He battled with gambling addiction, endured financial troubles, and dealt with the loss of his first wife. Despite these hardships, he continued writing prolifically, producing some of his most renowned works, including Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot(1869), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Dostoevsky's works continue to captivate readers worldwide with their deep psychological insights, moral dilemmas, and profound exploration of the human condition. He passed away on February 9, 1881, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that has made him a cornerstone of Russian literature and a revered figure in the realm of world literature.

To improve his family's living conditions and support himself, he robs and murders a selfish old woman. She is predatory and exploitative, amassing wealth and valuables as a loan shark. After the crime, he suffers excruciating remorse and inner torment. Raskolnikov becomes anxious and delirious. Finally, Sonia, a kindly and compassionate prostitute, inspires him to surrender to the authorities, and thus he experiences a tumultuous rebirth of the soul. Author : Fyodor DostoevskyFyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian realist writer born in 1821. He completed his first novel, Poor Folk, in 1845 and it received widespread acclaim. This early success paved the way for a brilliant literary career. His most renowned works include The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, The Insulted and the Injured, The Idiot, and The House of the Dead. Dostoevsky's writings often focus on the inner dilemmas and suffering of underprivileged individuals from the lower strata of society. Dostoevsky uses in-depth psychological descriptions to create convincing character portraits. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the novel Crime and Punishment. Fyodor Dostoevsky, the work's author, was a realist writer. Alongside Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev, he was one of the three towering figures of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Crime and Punishment is one of his most celebrated works and is widely acknowledged as a masterpiece. The novel explores social psychology as well as telling the story of crime and detection. It takes place in Saint Petersburg around the middle of the nineteenth century. The narrative concerns Raskolnikov, a university law student. After committing a murder, he is wracked by inner torment. Finally, he experiences a spiritual rebirth, but not until he has been inspired to turn himself in by Sonia, a kindly Christian soul. In the book, Dostoevsky masterfully details the psychological changes that occur after the murderer commits their crime. In 1864, Fyodor Dostoevsky, with his brother Mikhail founded the literary magazine Epokha. The magazine published Fyodor's and other authors' works. After the death in the same year of both Fyodor's first wife, Maria, and Mikhail, Dostoevsky fell into financial difficulty, running up huge debts with his creditors. It forced him to stop publishing the magazine and commit to an unfair contract with another publisher for his work. However, this unfavorable agreement led to the completion of this novel, Crime and Punishment. Many of Dostoevsky's writings are introspective and discreet. His dissection of the human psyche is simultaneously comprehensive and profound, barbed and unforgiving, expansive and detailed. The Austrian writer Franz Kafka once said, “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” Dostoevsky's works can be considered as such axes. If Tolstoy has shown us the breadth of Russian literature, then it can be said that Dostoevsky represents its depth. Through his writings, Dostoevsky, having himself experienced life's hardships, attempts to expose society's darkness and criminality. He describes the living conditions and sufferings of the underprivileged and expresses his heartfelt sympathy for their plight. He articulates the need for social change. As the Russian poet Merezhkovsky once said, Dostoevsky is sometimes closer to us than our loved ones. In sickness, he is a fellow patient. In both good and evil deeds, he is an accomplice. Nothing brings people...

In this episode I discuss the nature of the tyrannical soul. The tyrant is lawless in the sense that he is unwilling to submit to any order (in this sense, he tries to live beyond good and evil), and for this reason he becomes enslaved to his own passions. I discuss the notion of creating needs which enslave us (e.g., social media can be experienced as a created need which we feel enslaved to). I also compare the tyrant to Raskolnikov from Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/creative-retrieval/message

Tombée du ciel Bookmakers #19 - L'autrice du mois : Jakuta AlikavazovicNée à Paris en 1979, Jakuta Alikavazovic est une romancière multirécidiviste suspectée à juste titre de détournements d'attention, de trafic d'énigmes et de corruption d'imaginaires. Elle a reçu en 2008 le Goncourt du premier roman pour « Corps volatils » (L'Olivier) et, en 2021, le prix Médicis de l'essai pour « Comme un ciel en nous » (Stock). Elle a aussi publié d'habiles romans pour la jeunesse et une histoire d'amour inoubliable, « L'Avancée de la nuit ». Mais qui est donc cette érudite « d'un naturel inquiet », souvent vêtue d'un imperméable de détective privé, pour qui « internet est l'ennemi juré de l'écriture », par ailleurs chroniqueuse enjouée pour « Libération » et traductrice anglophone d'Eve Babitz ou de David Forster Wallace ? Pour le savoir, y a qu'à écouter Jakuta. En partenariat avec Babelio. (1/3) Tombée du cielElle a caché quelque chose au Louvre. Un outil, ou peut-être un insecte. Un mystère de poche introduit en loucedé, au nez et à la barbe des équipes de sécurité, lors de sa nuit au musée dont le récit, intitulé « Comme un ciel en nous », lui a valu le prix Médicis 2021 de l'essai. Vendu à 7300 exemplaires, ce petit livre, son plus personnel à ce jour, est à double fond : Jakuta Alikavazovic y expose ses joyeuses réflexions sur l'art, « cette histoire de fantômes pour grandes personnes », tout en esquissant le portrait pudique de son père monténégrin en « émigré esthétique » venu à Paris pour « s'installer dans la beauté ». Ce nouveau forfait méritait une enquête approfondie sur cette admiratrice d'Hercule Poirot et de Philip Marlowe, qui lit dans son bain et se rêve parfois dans la peau de Raskolnikov, armée d'une hache. Comment s'éveilla sa vocation ? C'est ce que nous allons tenter d'élucider dans la première partie de cette garde à vue sonore.

In this episode, I speak with philosopher Thomas Hibbs (Baylor) about Dostoyevsky's famous novel, Crime and Punishment. We discuss how Raskolnikov gets trapped in various philosophical theories he has embraced, and what might help him go from theory to authentic human life again. Along the way, we discuss the limitations of philosophy, the importance of literature as an antidote to modern moral theorizing, and the genre of confessions. And, of course, we talk about suffering, and why Raskolnikov needs to embrace it. Thomas Hibbs is currently J. Newton Rayzor Sr. Professor of Philosophy at Baylor where he is also Dean Emeritus, having served 16 years as Dean of the Honors College and Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Culture. Hibbs has a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and served as a tutor at Thomas Aquinas College, Full Professor and Department Chair of Philosophy at Boston College, and President of the University of Dallas. Hibbs has published more than thirty scholarly articles and seven books, the most recent of which is Wagering on an Ironic God: Pascal on Philosophy and Faith (Baylor University Press, 2017). He is currently working on a book on Catholic aesthetics that is under contract with the University of Notre Dame Press. Hibbs is a Fellow of the Institute of Human Ecology at Catholic University, where he had a sabbatical in the Fall of 2018.

“When Dostoyevsky was 28, he was arrested in the pre-dawn hours by the Czar's political police. ... [Nine months later] the men were brought out into a square in the middle of St. Petersburg in December. Three men were tied to stakes; there were hoods pulled over their heads. A firing squad came out to aim their rifles. Dostoyevsky was next in line to be executed.” Thus begins our Book Dreams interview this week with Kevin Birmingham, author of The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired a Masterpiece. We discuss with Kevin the many extraordinary twists and turns of Dostoevsky's life that helped shape the writing of Crime and Punishment and other novels. Dostoevsky endured ten years of exile in Siberia, four of them in a Siberian labor camp among murderers, and he battled a gambling addiction that repeatedly brought him to the brink of ruin. Kevin explains how these experiences and more contributed to “[t]wo decades of hardship, contemplation, and experimentation [that] brought [Dostoevsky] to a spectacular period of creativity in which he wrote four of the greatest novels in Russian literature—in all literature.” Kevin also recounts the story of Pierre-François Lacenaire, the real-life criminal who became the model for Raskolnikov, the murderer depicted in Crime and Punishment. Kevin Birmingham is the author of The Sinner and the Saint: Dostoevsky and the Gentleman Murderer Who Inspired a Masterpiece, which was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses, which won the PEN New England Award and The Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism. Kevin has been named a Public Scholar by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and he received his PhD in English from Harvard. His writing has appeared in Harpers, The New York Times Book Review, Slate, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment does not end with last week's discussion of guilt but with an apparent change in Raskolnikov's heart. But what exactly is going on with this apparent "resurrection"? The Good Fight brings back Crime and Punishment for the second episode of this two week exploration, this time focusing on the novel's epilogue and Sonya's recitation of John 11.

This is Cognitive Revolution, my show about the personal side of the intellectual journey. Each week, I interview an eminent scientist, writer, or academic about the experiences that shaped their ideas. The show is available wherever you listen to podcasts.This is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time. I met Kevin several years ago, and it was a big moment for me. This was the first time I’d ever met a real author. Of course I said something foolish. Of course he has no recollection of such foolish statements. I’m a huge admirer of his first book, The Most Dangerous Book, which tells the story behind Ulysses—one of the most controversial manuscripts of all time. It’s got an incredible cast of characters from James Joyce to Hemingway to Ezra Pound to Sylvia Beach. That book really drew me into to Kevin’s style of writing and the way he’s able to bring social analysis to bear on literary and intellectual themes.Kevin Birmingham has a PhD in English from Harvard. He actually studied under Louis Menand, whom I’ve also had on the show and is one of my all-time favorite authors. In this conversation, I definitely ask Kevin about Menand’s influence—a bit toward the end. Kevin has won numerous awards including the PEN New England Award and the Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism. The occasion for our conversation today is the publication of his new book, which came out in November 2021. It’s called The Sinner and the Saint, and it tells the story of the creative process behind Dostoevsky’s masterpiece Crime and Punishment. Since it’s a Russian novel, the creative process entails a great deal of suffering. The book also ties in the true story of how Dostoevsky’s thriller was inspired by the real life crimes of a Frenchman, Pierre François Lacenaire. (I’d like to imagine that all French criminal masterminds are named Pierre François.)Of course I’m a cognitive scientist by training, so I don’t have a lot of background in literary analysis. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve enjoyed Kevin’s books so much, helping me, as a layman, to understand books—at least aspects of books anyway—that I wouldn’t otherwise have the tools to grasp. There’s a passage I especially love from Kevin’s recent book: “One measure of Dostoevsky’s talent is that he could make something as small as a wink turn all the gears in a complex relationship. Porfiry’s tiniest movement is either an involuntary twitch or a cunning signal. Either it means nothing or it spells out Raskolnikov’s doom. He doesn’t know how to read it, and he can’t even tell if it happened. Raskolnikov wonders if all of his blinks look like winks, if the inspector’s eyes always gleam on a horizon between empty sky and unsounded fathoms. He begins to scrutinize every detail: the way the inspector positions his body, the tone of his voice, the way he emphasized the word she. In Dostoevsky’s murder story, the detective is the mystery.”At any rate, talking to Kevin is like having a private seminar with your favorite professor. He’s able to spin some really great answers. It was a fun conversation, and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you!Kevin’s Three Books:James Baldwin: Notes of a Native SonJames Joyce: UlyssesFyodor Dostoevsky: Crime and PunishmentLike this episode?

In this episode, we will be discussing some of the themes within Fyodor Dostoevsky's legendary text, Crime and Punishment. It deals with the suffocating guilt and uneasy journey towards redemption of impoverished ex-student, Raskolnikov, who commits a horrific murder of a pawnbroker and tries to justify it, unsuccessfully, with noble purposes. Not only is the novel a stellar thriller, its themes deal with the eternal struggle between good and evil that encapsulates the human condition. Link to Blog. Link to Resource Library.
