In this episode, I read the first page of Crime and Punishment by Fyodor M. Dostoevsky and then go through it sentence by sentence. Along the way, I explain selected words and expressions, with additional examples to help you understand how they are used in context.

Note
In the original text, the exact place names are intentionally abbreviated (в С—м переулке, к К—ну мосту) in order to avoid censorship. Researchers of Dostoevsky’s work identify these locations as Stolyarny Lane and Kokushkin Bridge.
