Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote his great novels in the mid-19th century, but they have proved prophetic for the present age with their images depicting the loss of spirituality and a shared sense of belief in transcendent realities. Particularly relevant for our time is the story of Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment, who believes he can set himself above all moral constraints through a daring act of murder, only to find that punishment for his crime is exacted in terrible and unforeseen ways. In the supposedly enlightened world of Dostoevsky's novel, individual opinion is asserted as truth, and Raskolnikov is left to seek redemption through the strange grace of the prostitute Sonya.
