Unlock Now Crime And Punishment Constructed By Fyodor Dostoevsky Released Through Publication

and Punishment is one of the most heartfelt stories that I have read, Never a book is written about agonies of a human mind with so much compassion, sympathy, and feeling, There is no question as to Dostoevskys mastery in writing, The beauty and charm in his work mainly lie in his truthful and sincere portrayal of human psychology, But that is not all, He also paints a truthful and sincere picture of different classes of Russian society, The two elements combined produce such realistic stories that it never occurs to the reader that he is reading fiction,

Set in St, Petersburg, the main plot in Crime and Punishment revolves around a murder committed by the protagonist, Raskolnikov, His mental agony at the horror and guilt of his action and his terror at being caught dominates the storyline, Raskolnikov is an exlaw student, whose mind is overstrained to the point of madness by his oppressive condition in life, So, when the murder was committed it looks as if the motive was to rob but his later actions heavily contradict this conviction, and it is not clear what truly drove him to commit the hideous crime.
There is however a hint here and there that Raskolnikov believed in the extremist socialist idea of “killing for common good”,

Raskolnikov is characterized as a proud and egoistic man with queer ideas about morality, On one hand, he justifies

himself of committing the crime by saying that the victim is a worthless person, but on the other hand, he is burdened with guilt.
His conflicting ideas constantly torture him, It is amazing how the author penetrates the criminal mind the torment Raskolnikov goes through while planning, at the time of committing the murder, and afterward the crime is committed, is portrayed with such accuracy that although one cannot pardon him for the sin he has committed, it is hard not to feel sorry.
It is also surprising that the amount of cunning that is displayed in such a tortured mind, Through all his agonies, Raskolnikov does play a very clever game at concealing his crime and evading the police,

The story and characters all revolve around Raskolinikov these supporting characters are chosen from different sections of Russian society, The psychological portrayal of these supporting characters transports you into their minds and makes you live in them so that every action of theirs is not read but felt.
I enjoyed his choice of characters their difference added colour and contrast to the story, Of them, I loved Avdoyta, the devoted sister of Raskolnikov, Razhumikhin, his true and loyal friend, and Sofya, his savior who shows him the path of redemption.


There are few subplots intertwined with the main plot, Through them, Dostoevsky raises the issue of social conditions and the suffering of women, His sensitive and compassionate account of womens position and suffering is heartbreaking, Their anguish, their pain is written so truthfully in those pages that I was crying my heart out as I read them, The character of Sofya is for whom I felt the most, She is forced into prostitution to provide for the family as his drunken father cannot keep to a good job, Then Katerina Ivanovna's suffering from consumption, all the while struggling to provide for her children, touches your heart, And Avdotya's being subject to unseemly sensual attention from the master of the house where she works as a governess, and her inability to leave her position as she was prepaid half her salary make you burn with indignation.
It is shocking to read how unprotected women were legally and socially, And it is even more shocking that men like Pyotr and Svidrigailov, who have the power to help, victimizing the defenseless women to satisfy their own desires.
The injustice of it all makes your blood boil, Dostoevsky through the characters of Pyotr, Svidrigailov, and Sofyas father put men to shame,

There is also a social commentary on Russian society exposing the radical atheist ideas the progressive movement was advocating and the authors antiradical and piously religious views as against them.
He seems to be criticizing heavily on the emerging socialist doctrines,

I have always liked Dostoevskys outlook on life, There is so much humanity in it, And in Crime and Punishment it is well exhibited,

It is a little wonder why Crime and punishment is called a masterpiece, It is complete in every sense and perfectly so, With each work, Dostoevsky makes me fall in love with him all over, Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret, He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law, But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.
Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption, خورخه لوئیس بورخس: جوان که بودم داستایفسکی بنظرم بزرگترین رماننویس میآمد. بعد از حدود ده سال دوباره کتابهایش را خواندم و این بار خیلی مایوس شدم. شخصیتهایش بسیار غیرواقعی و پیوسته به پیرنگ بودند

داستایوفسکی آنقدر نویسنده مشهوریست که انتقاد کردن از او دل و جرات زیادی می خواهد. با اجازه بورخس بزرگوار دست "ناباکوف" را گرفتم و کشاندم به این ریویو تا در این منازعه هراس آور تنها نباشم. ناباکوف از آن بوکسورهای بیرحمی است که از هیچکسی ابایی ندارد و وقتی هم حریف کسی به نام فئودور داستایوفسکی باشد ناباکوف با لذت تمام به رینگ پا خواهد گذاشت و بدون آنکه صدای زنگ آغاز زده شود او را به مشت خواهد بست. فقط این را بگویم که خود جناب بورخس هم عاشق بوکس است و از آمدن ناباکوف چه بسا بسیار شاد هم بشود

ولادیمیر ناباکوف: غیر روس ها دو چیز را دربارهی داستایوفسکی متوجه نیستند یکی اینکه همهی روس ها به اندازهی آمریکایی ها عاشق داستایوفسکی نیستند دیگر اینکه آنهایی هم که عاشق اویند به او به عنوان کسی با نیروی سحرآمیز احترام می گذارند نه هنرمند. او یک پیامبر بود روزنامه نگاری عامه پسند بازیگر کمدی بی دقت. قبول دارم که برخی صحنه هایی که آفریده برخی از بحث های کمدیاش بسیار سرگرم کننده اند اما قاتل های حساسش و روسپی های پرشورش چیزی نیستند که بشود یک لحظه تحملشان کرد دست کم من خواننده نمی توانم

با سپاس فراوان از ناباکوف رک گو باید عرض کنم که تحمل ناپذیری شخصیت ها در ای اثر به اوج خود می رسد. واقعا در خط خط این کتاب در حیرت بودم که شخصیت ها نه تنها قابل دوست داشتن نیستند بلکه حتی نمی توان درکشان کرد این را هم بگویم که این اثر دوست نداشتنی که لقب شاهکار هم بهش می دهند باعث نشد سراغ دیگر آثار داستایوفسکی نروم. از خواندن برادران کارامازوف واقعا لذت می برم اما متاسفانه در آنجا هم گاه گاه داستایوفسکی غیرهنرمند بودن خودش را به نمایش می گذارد و آدم را به خشم می آورد. در قسمت هایی از کتاب دقیقا نقش یک پیامبر را به عهده می گیرد و نظرات اخلاقی شخصی اش را مستقیما تو گوشات فریاد می زند

بورخس بزور خودش را به رینگ مسابقه می رساند و فریاد میزند صب کنید آخرین مشت را من بزنم. در حالیکه مشتش فئودور را نشانه گرفته به او میگوید: تو به ره خطا رفتی. با آن عرفان پرستی مضحکات. با شخصیت های قلابیات. بگذار به تو بگویم که آدم در زندگی واقعی حتی در موقعیتی دشوار حتی وقتی خیلی نگران چیزی است یا دلهره دارد یا بیزاری به او دست داده یا عاشق شده یا خشمگین است به سایر امور زندگی هم میپردازد. همانطور که الان منتظر مشت منی ولی داری به معشوقت فکر میکنی و اینکه کی دوباره به همسرت خیانت میکنی. نه! من مـثه تو پیامبر نیستم و نمی توانم در مورد چیزی قضاوت کنم و محکوم کنم وقتی خود به وفور انجامش میدهم. پس بنوش این مشت جادویی را

قسمتی از ریویوی قبلی:

از معدود کتاب هایی که بعد از پایان بردنشاحساس خاصی نداشتم
راستش نمیتوانم کتاب را بد یا خوب بنامم
اگر بد بود چگونه توانستم کتاب را تا آخر بخوانم
من که تجربه پرت کردن کتاب یک عاشقانه آرام نادر ابراهیمی پس از خواندن ده صفحه را داشتم
و اگر خوب بود چرا از لذت خواندنش مست نمیشدم

پاسخ: فک میکنم تنها هنر روانکاوی داستایوفسکی باعث شد بتوانم این کتاب را پایان ببرم و این به علاقه خاصی که به علم روانشناسی دارم بر می گردد وگرنه سرنوشت راسکولنیکف و سایر داردوسته سن پترزبورگی این کتاب کمترین علاقه ای در من خواننده بر نمی انگیختند,
