<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n After a 10 year exile in Siberia with their hands and feet shackled, most people would try to patch together the fragments of life they have left, after all the hard labor and difficulties in surviving. Dostoyevsky instead wrote a little thing called Crime and Punishment<\/strong>, to this day considered one of his greatest works. It tells the story of Rodion Raskolnikov, a poor ex-student in St. Petersburg who resorts to murder in what, he argues, was the pursuit of a “higher purpose”. The most frequently adapted of all Dostoyevsky works, this critique against the utalitarianism and rationalism that so often pervaded the west in the latter 19th century has become the perfect blueprint for more universal messages about mankind — or, on the contrary, specifically local ones, like the social fabric of Finland in the 1980s, or Lav Diaz’s gloomy, bleak Philippines.
