It first appeared in instalments in Russian Messenger in 1866. By this time, Dostoevsky had been orphaned, imprisoned, almost died, lost his wife and his brother. He was also neck-deep in debt. From such a man came the story of the psychological impact of committing a crime. In this book, Raskolnikov murders an old, evil pawnbroker. Good riddance, according to him, since the woman was an oppressor of the weak, and this act allowed him to solve his own financial problems. Yet, it is a crime, and the guilt begins gnaw at him inside, even though he considers himself to be an ‘extraordinary person’ whose actions are above the law.

The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederacy’s shelling of Sumter—a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were “so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter’s commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between them. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous secretary of state, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable—one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e\u003chr class=\"a-divider-normal bucketDivider\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;line-height:19px;margin-top:0px;clear:left;color:#0f1111;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;border-top-style:solid;border-top-color:#cccccc;height:44px;margin-bottom:-36px;background-position:0px 0px;background-size:initial;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding:0px 0px 4px;margin:0px;line-height:32px;color:#0f1111;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:1.25rem;font-family:'Amazon Ember';\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" style=\"color:#0f1111;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 1px 18px;padding:0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWilliam Collins (20 May 2024);
