Crimen Y Castigo by Fédor Dostoïevski
A proud but destitute former student commits a calculated murder believing he can transcend ordinary moral laws, then descends into feverish paranoia and self-justification as guilt and the scrutiny of a shrewd investigator close in; through relationships with a compassionate young woman and other suffering figures he faces painful questioning of his theories about power, justice and conscience, leading ultimately to a tormenting moral reckoning and the possibility of spiritual redemption through suffering.
