Crime and Punishment
Fyodor Dostoevsky · 2025
Crime and Punishment is a psychological exploration of guilt, redemption, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in extreme circumstances. Fyodor Dostoevsky delves into the mind of Raskolnikov, a destitute former student who commits murder under the belief that extraordinary individuals are above conventional morality. The novel examines the psychological torment that follows his crime, contrasting his justifications with the reality of his conscience and the societal consequences of his actions. Through this, Dostoevsky critiques utilitarian ethics and explores the depths of human suffering and moral reckoning. Since its publication, Crime and Punishment has been widely recognized for its intense psychological depth and philosophical inquiry. The novel's exploration of free will, justice, and the struggle between rationalization and remorse has cemented its status as a cornerstone of world literature. Raskolnikov's internal conflict and his interactions with characters such as Sonya Marmeladov and Porfiry Petrovich continue to engage readers, offering profound insights into the human psyche. The novel's lasting significance lies in its ability to probe the darker recesses of human motivation while also affirming the possibility of redemption. By dissecting the intricate relationship between crime, conscience, and societal structure, Crime and Punishment compels readers to reflect on their own moral convictions and the nature of justice in an imperfect world.

Babel
R. F. Kuang · 2022
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War “Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out.” -- Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide… Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?

Girl, Interrupted
Susanna Kaysen · 2013
30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. Her memoir of the next two years is a "poignant, honest ... triumphantly funny ... and heartbreaking story" (The New York Times Book Review). WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR The ward for teenage girls in the McLean psychiatric hospital was as renowned for its famous clientele—Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles—as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching document that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.
