If you’re captivated by the complexities of the human psyche, "Crime and Punishment" is a profound journey you’ll want to embark on. Dostoevsky masterfully delves into the darkest corners of the mind, mapping out a landscape where philosophy clashes with primal instincts. This is much more than a grim tale of crime; it's an exploration of redemption and conscience with layers that promise to haunt you long after turning the last page.
