Lazarus

In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, there are a multitude of spiritual references. With Sonia, the love interest of protagonist Raskolnikov, reading aloud the entire Lazarus passage in the gospel of John, and Sonia herself a Christ figure, spiritual references are prominent throughout the novel. Raskolnikov kills the pawnbroker, Aliona Ivanovna and her sister Lizaveta Ivanovna, early in the narrative. That act plagues him for the rest of the novel. In the epilogue of Crime and…

It has been argued that forms of pro-poor tourism, like slum tourism, can help alleviate poverty; however, successful pro-poor tourism requires extensive planning, “stimulating local involvement, partnerships and procurement” (Harrison, 2008, p. 854).
