About the book

The Sinner and the Saint is the deeply researched and immersive tale of how Dostoevsky came to write this great murder story and why it changed the world. As a young man, Dostoevsky was condemned to a long Siberian exile. There, he spent years studying the criminals that were his companions. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the 1860s, he fought his way through gambling addiction, debilitating debt, epilepsy, the deaths of those closest to him, and literary banishment to craft an enduring classic. The Sinner and the Saint is the definitive story of the triumph that is Crime and Punishment.
