His best novel in my opinion is Crime and Punishment, which I found to be at the age of 18 a real page turner. I easily related to the impoverished living circumstances of Raskolnikov. I think the moral of the story is that in spite of Marxist rhetoric humans do have a conscience. Some unscrupulous individuals probably do their best to suppress their conscience or ego ideal to justify criminality. It is because we can choose between authenticity or negation.
