These translations of Dostoevsky by Richard Pevar and Larissa Volokhonsky are excellent. I have been able to enjoy this wonderful author thoroughly for the first time. The print size of these books is very small in the Everyman's Library, but it is well worth everything. The books are beautifully bound with thin hardcovers.

Dostoesky's drama of sin, guilt and redemption transmutes the sordid story of an old woman's murder by a desperate student into the nineteenth century's profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel. Grim in theme and setting, the book nevertheless seduces by its combination of superbly drawn characters, narrative brilliance and manic comedy.

About the Author
Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow on 11th November 1821. He had six siblings and his mother died in 1837 and his father in 1839. He graduated from the St Petersburg Academy of Military Engineering in 1846 but decided to change careers and become a writer. His first book, Poor Folk, did very well but on 23rd April 1849 he was arrested for subversion and sentenced to death. After a mock-execution his sentence was commuted to hard labour in Siberia where he developed epilepsy.He was released in 1854. His 1860 book, The House of the Dead was based on these experiences. In 1857 he married Maria Dmitrievna Isaeva. After his release he adopted more conservative and traditional values and rejected his previous socialist position. In the following years he spent a lot of time abroad, struggled with an addiction to gambling and fell deeply in debt. His wife died in 1864 and he married Anna Grigoryeva Snitkina. In the following years he published his most enduring and successful books, includingCrime and Punishment (1865). He died on 9th February 1881.

I love everyman's library edition of books and even this one was a good buy. I got it way cheaper than the mrp so I have no complaints. Fyodor doetoevsky books are worth reading.

Very satisfied.
Reviewed in Germany on 28 September 2023Verified Purchase
I love none fiction books more but this book is a novel and full of philosophy and human psychology. It’s my first time to read Doestoevsky and bought his other 3 main novels from the same publisher. He is a genius but his life experience made him unique and more convincing. He lets you live in his noble. I think this book changed my view in many aspects especially about tolerance, patience, faith, family, friendship, humbleness and love.
