At length I returned from two weeks leave of absence to find that my patrons had arrived three days ago in Roulettenberg. I received from them a welcome quite different to that which I had expected. The General eyed me coldly, greeted me in rather haughty fashion, and dismissed me to pay my respects to his sister. It was clear that from SOMEWHERE money had been acquired. I thought I could even detect a certain shamefacedness in the Generals glance. Maria Philipovna, too, seemed distraught, and conversed with me with an air of detachment. Nevertheless, she took the money which I handed to her, counted it, and listened to what I had to tell. To luncheon there were expected that day a Monsieur Mezentsov, a French lady, and an Englishman; for, whenever money was in hand, a banquet in Muscovite style was always given. Polina Alexandrovna, on seeing me, inquired why I had been so long away. Then, without waiting for an answer, she departed. Evidently this was not mere accident, and I felt that I must throw some light upon matters. It was high time that I did so.

En aquesta narració Dostoievski ens fa compartir amb el seu protagonista l'experiència del primer enamorament. Estem a l'estiu, en una festa amb diversions i passatemps inacabables: cavalcades pel camp, excursions pel bosc o pel riu, passeigs, dinars al camp, sopars a la terrassa plena de flors aromtiques, música, dansa, teatre, tota mena de jocs i d'acudits, rialles. Ens envolta un paisatge alegre i assolellat, el dolç camp rus on seguirem el pas d'infant a adolescent del "petit heroi". Per què aquest ambient optimista i radiant d'alegria, en un autor que habitualment situa l'acció de les seves novel•les en el gris de la ciutat de Petersburg? Acusat d'una conspiració política, Dostoievski va passar una temporada a la presó, en unes condicions tan malsanes que fins i tot alguns dels seus companys de presó van preferir suïcidar-se. Tot esperant el veredicte, l'escriptor es va refugiar en els somnis sobre tot allò amè, exultant, dolç i innocent. El resultat n'és El petit heroi

The poverty-stricken Raskolnikov, a talented student, devises a theory about extraordinary men being above the law, since in their brilliance they think "new thoughts" and so contribute to society. He then sets out to prove his theory by murdering a vile, cynical old pawnbroker and her sister. The act brings Raskolnikov into contact with his own buried conscience and with two characters — the deeply religious Sonia, who has endured great suffering, and Porfiry, the intelligent and discerning official who is charged with investigating the murder — both of whom compel Raskolnikov to feel the split in his nature. Dostoevsky provides readers with a suspenseful, penetrating psychological analysis that goes beyond the crime — which in the course of the novel demands drastic punishment — to reveal something about the human condition: The more we intellectualize, the more imprisoned we become.
