Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Crime and Punishment is more than a tale of crime it is a descent into the labyrinth of the human soul. At its core stands Rodion Raskolnikov, a brilliant yet impoverished student of St. Petersburg, whose audacious theory convinces him that extraordinary men are entitled to step beyond moral law.Anna Karenina is more than a tragic love story it is a sweeping portrait of Russian society, stitched with themes of passion, duty, and the clash between desire and convention. At its heart is Anna, a woman whose romance with Count Vronsky ignites both intoxicating joy and social ruin.
