Since its publication, it has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature.ģ) The Road To Wigan Pier by George Orwell Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, judgment, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia, with a plot which revolves around the subject of patricide. “The Brothers Karamazov” is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th-century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. His moral justifications disintegrate completely as he struggles with guilt and horror and confronts the real-world consequences of his deed. However, once it is done he finds himself racked with confusion, paranoia, and disgust for what he has done.
Before the killing, Raskolnikov believes that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds. “Crime and Punishment” focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in Saint Petersburg who formulates a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her money. Peterson is constantly referencing Dostoevsky’s work during his lectures and has called Dostoevsky one of his favorite authors and recommends reading all five of his great novels. Peterson said “Crime and Punishment” along with “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoevsky would tie for second place as the books that most influenced him.
