Discover Dostoevsky's masterpiece.

'The old woman was merely a sickness . . .it wasn't a human being I killed, it was a principle!'

A troubled young man commits the perfect crime - the murder of a vile pawnbroker whom no one will miss. Raskolnikov is desperate for money, but convinces himself that his motive for the murder is to benefit mankind. So begins one of the greatest novels ever written, a journey into the criminal mind, a police thriller, and a philosophical meditation on morality and redemption.

 TRANSLATED BY RICHARD PEVEAR & LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY

Product description

Review

Dostoevsky makes Martin Amis seem as if he was writing 130 years ago and that Dostoevsky is writing now. Read all of Dostoevsky. These books are for now and they matter, because it's up to us to call a halt to our TV producers, politicians, gutless artists, poets and writers: these "teenagers of all ages" who are propelling us towards a consumerist hell of disposability over quality -- Billy Childish

Dostoevsky's finest masterpiece ― John Bayley

Donne, Herbert, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Dostoevsky, Henry James - these are the great psychologists - far greater than Freud or Klein or Jung -- Sally Vickers

The best translation of Crime and Punishment currently available... An especially faithful re-creation...with a coiled-spring kinetic energy... Don't miss it ― Washington Post

Crime and Punishment...is about a big subject - the meaning of life - yet it is gritty, gripping and it's depiction of city life gives it a modern, timeless feel -- Leila Aboulela, author of The Translator

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, including Crime and Punishment (1865). He died on 9th February 1881

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, got what I received!

The book came exactly as advertised! I loved the texture of the cover and the book had a good “new book smell” if you know what I mean ;) Only complaint would be that the book can be uncomfortable to hold with one hand (small hands) due to its thickness, but it’s not a major issue for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling tale of ultimate redemption
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2023
Verified Purchase
Unquestionably this is the seminal crime and detective novel. In this excellent translation, the
narrative moves breathlessly, providing an unparalleled view into the delusions and flaws of the criminal mind.

This is a dark, tragic story of the ultimate redemption of an outsider, rescued by the love and humanity he is initially bereft of.

Themes of emerging psychological theories and philosophy run throughout and are explored in an excellent appendix of notes and essay.Together with: ‘Notes from the Underground’, the author offers an insight into Nihilism and utilitarianism

A thrilling narrative that twists and turns like the labyrinthine streets of St Petersburg.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Look
Reviewed in Canada on 25 October 2020

I love the cover art and I was looking for a P&V translation so it’s the best of both worlds. The lamination on the edges of the cover is curling up ever so slightly through use. I think it gives it a lovely used look. Those who prefer their books to look mint might want to treat it with extra care.
