Summary

"Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a captivating exploration of the human psyche, morality, and the consequences of our actions. Set in the gritty streets of 19th-century St. Petersburg, this timeless masterpiece follows the story of Rodion Raskolnikov, a destitute and intellectually gifted young man who becomes entangled in a web of moral and psychological turmoil.

Driven by his own warped sense of rationality, Raskolnikov commits a heinous crime: the murder of a pawnbroker. However, as he grapples with the aftermath of his deed, he finds himself tormented by guilt and paranoia, haunted by the specter of his own conscience. As the walls close in around him, Raskolnikov embarks on a harrowing journey of self-discovery and redemption, wrestling with his inner demons and the weight of his sins.

Dostoevsky's penetrating prose delves deep into the darkest recesses of the human soul, laying bare the complexities of morality and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Through vividly drawn characters, atmospheric settings, and richly layered symbolism, "Crime and Punishment" immerses readers in a world of moral ambiguity and existential angst, challenging them to confront the fundamental questions of what it means to be human.

With its gripping narrative, profound insights, and enduring relevance, "Crime and Punishment" stands as a timeless masterpiece of literature—one that continues to captivate and provoke readers with its exploration of the human condition and the eternal quest for redemption.

    A Broken Trust - From their pens...

    Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was born on the 16th August 1846 at Standishgate, near Wigan. 
After a good education she worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and went on to become a widespread and popular writer of adventure and society novels. 
As a feminist writer it is a little bizarre that she published as Mrs George Corbett.  Her most ardent feminist work was ‘New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future,’ though other of her works were also similarly themed and dealt with one of the great issues of the day in Victorian society. 
She married George Corbett in Sheffield in 1868.  They went on to have 4 children, of which only 3 survived. 
As a writer she was not overly prolific but was perhaps most admired for her female detectives.  During her literary career Detective books were all the rage and authors of both sexes attempted to bring new and unusual angles of characters and narratives before the voracious public.   
Corbett’s first was in a collection of short stories ‘Adventures of a Lady Detective featuring Dora Bell'.  A later novel introduced a further detective in the guise of Annie Cory. 
Elizabeth Corbett died on in 1930.

Forty-four years ago, as any schoolgirl can tell you, the moth’s eggs hatched and an army of caterpillars spread their tiny toxic threads on every breath of wind.  Since then, men have been cloistered, protected from birth against the deadly poison. 
 
But now there’s a vaccine - a way that men can leave the facility without dying or suffering from psychosis.  Emerging, into their new world, eyes wide with wonder at every new experience, the truth soon becomes clear. 
 
This world was not made for men.  And they are not safe.
