Fyodor Dostoevsky is a master of 19th-century psychological prose, recognized worldwide. His works have been translated into more than 170 languages.

'Crime and Punishment' is the supreme example of the crime novel. Dostoevsky raised questions that remain unresolved to this day. Who should a person be: a 'trembling creature,' as Raskolnikov says, or a 'Napoleon'? Written in 1866, the work remains the most widely read book in the world and is included in most school literature curricula.
