I decided that for this year i would try and pick up Crime and Punishment, but i know how complex and difficult to read it can be, i believe that reading a book before knowing things like the historic context of the creation of a book or the life of the creator of a book makes the reading poor, getting you easily lost on what to think of the book and how to understand it.
So i would like to know if there is any historic context, information about the author or any text in general i should read before reading Crime and Punishment. I would also like to know if there is any specific edition that has a lot of comments or footnotes so that i can't get easily lost when understanding this book and keeping track of information.
