Beschreibung

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s seminal classic, now in a beautiful clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption.

David McDuff’s vivid translation has been acclaimed as the most accessible version of Dostoyevsky’s great novel, rendering its dialogue with a unique force and naturalism. This edition of Crime and Punishment also includes a new chronology of Dostoyevsky’s life and work.

I’m actually in love with this book!!!

Reading this book was such an amazing experience. Dostoyevsky truly manages to suck you into this world and the mind of the characters so well that sometimes it felt like I was the main character and not just reading about him. The mood in this book is depressing for sure, but it’s so well written. It’s very philosophical and because of that it can feel boring at times but I still never once wanted to put it down and I would recommend this to almost anyone. It just takes some time to get into the story and to read it since it is pretty long, but it’s so worth it, go read this now!!

I liked it but it is definitely hard to get through and tough to stick with, still very well written and obviously brilliant!

Damn.

I really loved this book, but it is necessary to say that the first few chapters where super boring. It took some time to get through them but after that I read the rest in a few days. I’m a big fan of all the characters and how their stories intertwine. The end had me in tears and sobbing. Definitely recommend.

1860s russian sad boy rodion raskolnikov has dropped out of college and is majorly going through it. for highly questionable reasons, he commits murder, then immediately falls into a feverish nightmare state, and spends the rest of the book going insane with guilt and paranoia. it rules

despite containing a lot of suffering, this book is unexpectedly funny. the writing can be so melodramatic and that’s what makes it great. our main character is an absolute piece of work but also painfully relatable, i too have gone insane in tiny rooms in the city and wanted to bite every single person i encounter in the street. all the characters are well written and the dialogue is very entertaining, even when one person keeps talking for literally 3 pages. razumikhin and dunya are the best 💖 all in all a great time - i devoured this book like a hearty soup. would recommend

Amidst Uni stress and relentless reading through Law books, I can't say I don't relate to Rasknikov's delirious antics. Also Razumikhin
