Crime and Punishment: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a psychological record of a crime that gives this dark masterpiece of murder and pursuit a renewed vitality in this new translation.

Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders alone through the slums of St.

Petersburg, deliriously imagining himself above society’s laws.

But when he commits a random murder, only suffering ensues.

Embarking on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck.

Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption.

This new translation by Oliver Ready gives the text a fresh and urgent feel, making it a must-read for fans of classic literature.
