Since /wsr/ failed me: What’s a story about a character doing battle against nihilism and teaching the world to believe in themselves?

Shameless self-bump.

Dunno about teaching the world, but in Crime and Punishment the main character struggles against nihilism.

How so, and does he eventually find some sense of meaning?

What does this mean?

He believes in nihilism at the start of the novel, acts in accord with it, is punished by his conscience, and by the end of the novel he is redeemed through the power of Christ.

I'll read it. Is it eventually uplifting?

>> No.12923783

>>12923057
Are there any other stories that involve a character doing battle with nihilism?
