The work, a revelation when it first appeared in Moscow on the pages of the journal <em>\u0420\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0412\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a<\/em> (Russian Messenger), gives readers unparalleled insight into the individual\u2019s role and moral responsibility in society. Following the murderous aspirations of the novel\u2019s protagonist, former student Raskolnikov, we are confronted with the struggle of reconciling rationalist action with the human conscience.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit showcases\u00a0items that demonstrate the continuing appeal of the novel, across the boundaries of nation, language, and media. The theme was chosen to highlight the rich variety of the global collection held by the University of Toronto Libraries, and the relevance of the holdings to interdisciplinary research and teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Over twenty countries are represented, and each case offers a different medium in which to appreciate the novel: translation; art and illustration; <em>belles-lettres <\/em>and popular fiction; film, stage, and music; and literary criticism. Each item symbolizes the eternal relevance of Dostoevsky\u2019s work, and emphasizes key threads of his thought that hold special significance for the development of culture world-wide.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition forms part of the SSHRC funded outreach project, <em>Crime and Punishment at 150,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0and is on display in Robarts Library, 1st floor, from 3 October to 30 November 2016.
