Beschreibung
Crime and Punishment is the book that first brought Fyodor Dostoyevsky to international attention. Serialized and then published in 1866, the book was a huge success and the proceeds managed to pull Dostoyevsky out of financial distress and establish him as a leading Russian author.
This dark novel swirls about the life of its main character, Rodion Raskolnikov, who becomes convinced that it would be morally justifiable to rob and murder an unscrupulous old pawnbroker and use her money to transform himself into a generous and virtuous benefactor. After he commits his crime, violently killing the pawnbroker with an axe, Raskolnikov finds himself tortured with guilt, utterly paranoid and filled with self-loathing.
A powerful and intense piece of writing, Crime and Punishment has long been hailed as one of the greatest novels ever written and we are proud to present the manuscript in its original and unabridged format, as translated by Constance Garnett.
