Summary:
Dostoevsky's involvement with the radical politics of his day condemned him to a long Siberian exile. He spent the time studying the criminals that were his companions. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the 1860s, the germ of Crime and Punishment came from the sensational story of Pierre François Lacenaire, a notorious murderer who charmed and outraged Paris in the 1830s. Dostoevsky began creating a Russian incarnation of Lacenaire, a character who could demonstrate the errors of radical politics and ideas. He was determined to tell a murder story from the murderer's perspective, but his character couldn't be a monster. The stenographer he hired so he could to dictate the final chapters, Anna Grigorievna, became Dostoevsky's first reader and chief critic and changed the way he wrote forever. -- adapted from jacket
