While rereading Crime and Punishment, one can’t help but sense the shadow of Edgar Allan Poe. And indeed—Dostoevsky was a great admirer. The Tell-Tale Heart (1843) and Crime and Punishment (1866) both chart the path of guilt to confession, paranoia to revelation. One the father of the modern mystery, the other the master of psychological depth. A rare and powerful synergy. #Dostoevsky #Poe #CrimeAndPunishment #Literature
