CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (what I've found on Wikipedia)

 

I won't going to lie: I didn't read the book. I think I didn't have enough time to even search the book neither in my library nor my PC. In any case, since I have a work to do, I decide to read about the book on Wikipedia, and this is wat I found:

Crime and Punishment was wrote by the Russian author Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821- 1881) and is considerate one of a masterpiece of the Russian and Universal literature. It present the dualism of the main character and how many mental troubles drives him from pride to humble through the kill.

The main character, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, kills an old woman, trying to steal her wealth and convince himself he belongs to the kind of mans that can kill and steal without punishment and not another loser in the world, like that old woman.

The pression of this crime makes him confess and been arrested. but only the faith that was born from his love for a woman can calm him down.

 The mental trouble matter is frequent on my reading; I have read The Metamorfosis by Kafka, and The Stranger by Camus. I think this book is not so far from this kind of troubles. I think about how dangerous are those men who hide themselves away until they are so far from this world. they think and they act for themselves and what their corrupted mind plot. The bipolars, specially those who have tasted any drugs, slowly drive themselves into maniac state, and there they do the craziest things you can imagine, things like those shown on those books.

to finish, I have to say this books make us more warned of mental illness and show how they might have worked at that times.
