Crime and Punishment: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

â€œA truly great translationÂ . . .Â This English version . . . really is better.â€Â â€”A. N. Wilson,Â The Spectator.Â Nominated as one of Americaâ€™s best-loved novels by PBSâ€™s The Great American Read

This acclaimed new translation of Dostoyevskyâ€™s â€œpsychological record of a crimeâ€ gives his dark masterpiece of murder and pursuit a renewed vitality, expressing its jagged, staccato urgency and fevered atmosphere as never before. Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders alone through the slums of St. Petersburg, deliriously imagining himself above societyâ€™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.
