Crime and Punishment (1866)
Can murder ever be justified for the greater good? Today, we will walk through the twisted streets of St. Petersburg, depicted by the brilliant yet tormented mind of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Crime and Punishment is more than a novel—it's a psychological odyssey into the depths of guilt, redemption, and the human soul. Joining us is Dr. Julia Titus from Yale University, she is the author of Dostoevsky as a Translator of Balzac (2022). Dr. Titus will help us unravel the moral complexities and existential questions that continue to fascinate us over a century later.Recommended Reading: Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment (1866)This podcast is sponsored by Riverside, a professional conference platform for podcasting.Comment and interact with our hostsBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
