I recently read Dostoevsky's novel Crime and punishment and greatly enjoyed it. This is not a review. Just some notes: + Crime and Punishment is, in a way, an exploration of what happens when you stretch a theory to the extremes. (But I do not know philosophy that well to decide if the theory itself is extreme or if it is being stretched, so you decide. :-)) + The novel explores the life of Raskolnikov, a very intelligent but poor student who is consumed by the ideas of his times like utilitarianism and nihilism that propel him down the slippery slope path of murder, convincing himself that a murder is noble when it is good for the society at large. When Alexander the Great kills thousands presumably for the good of the society at large, why can't he too murder? That is the motive behind the murder committed by the protaganist. + How bizarre, extravagantly fantastic and out-of-the-world this idea is! I feel like a baby when I consider my own thoughts and ideas in comparison with something as big and lunatic as that! Even when we have all the philosophy behind a crime like murder, as Dostoevsky captures in his lucid and eloquent prose, it is hard to escape the consequences. + What fun to read this novel and to go inside the mind of a murderer: the endless, inescapable cycle of various emotions - the guilt that depresses, the reason that struggles to explain, the shame to face your own mother and sister, and the fear of getting caught - is captured so well that it is no surprise when you hear that Dostoevsky is a master of psycho analyses. Even the unreal, almost fantasmogorical idea of murder gets real and believable when buttressed with such compendious analyses. + Character development is remarkable. Surprisingly, in this big book, there are not too many characters; The story revolves around only a handful of them. Doctor that helps to theorize and explain the workings of mind, the family members and the lover who bind Raskolnikov to society - in a way, force him away from his nihilism, and finally throw him a lifeline of love, his friend Razumikhin, his sister's fiance, his sister's ex-employer are all excellently developed, believable characters. Above all, the investigator Porfiry Petrovich's character is very well sketched and developed - his understanding of crime, criminals and his experience that shows in his patience and supremely clever attempts to find out the truth during his investigations of Raskolnikov. + The plot is divided into two parts: first, crime; second, punishment. There are plenty of twists, and scenes full of suspense and intrigue just as any crime novel would have. I have not been a big fan of crime/detective novels, but this novel just shatters any fixed, 'unbaked' idea about this genre. Crime novels can be written in such compelling, engaging manner - it is as much about life, love, ideals as about money, murder, police and death. Just like any good art, Crime and punishment transcends any artificial boundaries of genres. + If not anything, at least the investigation scenes involving Porfiry Petrovich and Raskolnikov alone needs a special mention. It is some of the best, very intelligently written scenes I have ever read. When we know who the killer is, the investigator knows who the killer is, the killer knows that the investigator knows, it all comes down to the technicality of proof. You must read to see how Dostoevsky handles these situations! What a fine read! Greatly recommend.
