Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published in the literary journal 'The Russian Messenger' in twelve monthly installments during 1866. Later, it was published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. 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. Before the killing, Raskolnikov believes that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds; but confusion, hesitation, and chance muddy his plan for a morally justifiable killing.

Dealing with burglary, kidnapping, child abuse, prostitution and murder Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens darkest works. The novel introduces famous and endurable characters in the form of the vile Fagin, hateful Bill Sykes, and the brooding Monk balanced on the brighter side by the hero Oliver Twist and The Artful Dodger. The tale also takes the corrupt and incompetent institutions of 19th-century England to task for making worse the very problems they set out to cure. Oliver Twist is classic Dickens with memorable characters, evocative descriptions, melodrama and a plot thick with coincidence. Please enjoy reading Oliver Twist, another masterpiece of English literature. This story is for the ones who haven't read Charles Dickens's novel ( Oliver Twist ) It's a Copy of story!
