Dostoevsky claims to have considered himself a devout Orthodox Christian, but through his writing he shows that there may not be any real way to ultimately recompense the suffering of mankind.
By leaving the question unanswered, he emphasizes the fact that suffering is a mystery that may not be cosmically resolved.
Dostoevsky's books are glimpses of such truth.
They awaken the reader's desire for any concrete evidence that hope is not madness.
No one has ever shown better how far our acts transcend our little conscious lives, how vital it is to live them lucidly, with clear eyes.
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the heavyweights of Russian Literature.
The first reader of Dostoyevsky's deep tome will encounter many difficulties.
But if you push through and overcome those difficulties, you will be endlessly rewarded.
