"Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it ... one must have the courage to dare." ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment Crime and Punishment (1867) by Fyodor Dostoevsky recounts the story of Rodion Raskolnikov, a former student living under poverty in the slums of St. Petersburg. To come out of his impoverished state, he plans to kill a corrupt pawnbroker for her money. He believes that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to do great deeds. However, once he commits the murder, he finds himself afflicted with confusion and disgust. Raskolnikov is haunted by his conscience until Sonya, a prostitute, comes as the sole means of redemption.

Dostoyevsky was the son of a doctor. His parents were very hard-working and deeply religious people, but so poor that they lived with their five children in only two rooms. The father and mother spent their evenings in reading aloud to their children, generally from books of a serious character.
In 1861, he started a journal—Vremya, which was forbidden by the Censorship through a misunderstanding. In 1864 he lost his first wife and his brother Mihail. He was in terrible poverty, yet he took upon himself the payment of his brother’s debts. He started another journal—The Epoch, which within a few months was also prohibited. He was weighed down by debt, his brother’s family was dependent on him, he was forced to write at heart-breaking speed, and is said never to have corrected his work.
In June 1880 he made his famous speech at the unveiling of the monument to Pushkin in Moscow and he was received with extraordinary demonstrations of love and honour.
A few months later Dostoevsky died.
