Considered one of the most iconic works in literature, "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is an extraordinary novel that delves deep into the realm of the human psyche. This masterpiece continues to captivate readers with its psychological intricacies and thought-provoking themes.

Set in 19th-century Russia, the story follows the life of Rodion Raskolnikov, a poor ex-student who becomes consumed by the idea of committing a heinous crime. Driven by his nihilistic beliefs and the theory of the "extraordinary man," Raskolnikov plans and executes the murder of a pawnbroker. The aftermath of this act sends him spiraling into a world of guilt, paranoia, and moral turmoil.

Dostoevsky skillfully explores the psychological complexities of his characters, particularly Raskolnikov. The novel delves into the depths of his tormented mind, highlighting the internal struggle between his justification of the crime as a means for a greater purpose and his subconscious guilt that leads to self-destruction.

As readers engage with this psychological journey, they are confronted with profound questions about the nature of morality, guilt, and redemption. Dostoevsky challenges conventional notions of good and evil, forcing us to reflect on the very essence of human nature.

For those who are intrigued by psychological novels, "Crime and Punishment" offers a compelling exploration of the human mind. Dostoevsky's intricate character development draws readers into the inner thoughts and emotions of Raskolnikov, creating a deeply immersive experience.

Apart from the psychological aspects, "Crime and Punishment" also tackles social and moral issues prevalent in Russian society during that time. It exposes the harsh realities of poverty, crime, and the consequences of one's actions on both an individual and societal level.

If you're looking to dive into this classic piece of literature, there are numerous editions and translations available. Some recommended translations include those by Constance Garnett, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, and David McDuff.

【Serialized novel "The Secret of the Rich Daughter"] On the day of delivery, in excruciating pain, she lay on the operating table when his icy voice came, "I don't want anything except the child." In desperation, she asked him, gripping his hand, "Have you ever loved me?" He replied, without looking back, "I have loved your heart and the child. Just give me the child and the heart." The man then left. Despair filled her as she closed her eyes on the operating table. Love, it seemed, had never existed, while hate had never left. Encountering each other again, she smiled charmingly in the crowd. The man whispered in a low voice as he gnawed on her earlobe, "This time, even if it means death, I will make sure you die by my side." Mockingly, she asked, "Do you have the right?"

"Wow, brother, the aura of this treasure in your hand is extraordinary. What? It's a top-grade spiritual artifact! I admire you," said the girl. "Ah! The old man seems to be holding a thousand-year-old camphor wood refined into a golden pill-stage treasure. I have heard so much about it!" "Master, would you consider selling the staff in your hand? Our family happens to be in need of a talisman to ward off evil... What? This is your life-bound treasure? That's a pity indeed," said the disciple. "You're asking about my treasure?" Lin slowly straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and blushing, pointed to the dazzling treasure outside the door, shining so bright that everyone could barely open their eyes. It was like a little sun, equipped with every single strand of hair, and Lin said, "This is my family's little green cow. Because this ancient divine artifact looks too ordinary, I usually don't let Ah Dai come in." After leaving everyone drooling, Lin turned around and left with satisfaction...
