Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

by Fyodor Dostoevsky

This playlist captures the psychological intensity, moral turmoil, and existential depth of "Crime and Punishment" through a balanced mix of introspective and dynamic tracks. The diverse selection spans classical, jazz, indie, and cinematic pieces that evoke the oppressive atmosphere of 19th-century St. Petersburg, the conflicted psyche of Raskolnikov, and the novel’s themes of guilt, redemption, and social alienation. With half instrumental works and thoughtfully chosen vocal songs representing key characters and moods, this soundtrack supports medium focus reading in any environment without resorting to overused or stereotypical choices.
