CRIME AND PUNISHMENT - FJODOR M DOSTOJEWSKIJ KA...

The classic novel of guilt and redemption from one of Russia's greatest novelists   Raskolnikov
a destitute and desperate former student  wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and
commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man  a
Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a
dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator  Raskolnikov is pursued
by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around
his neck. Only Sonya  a downtrodden prostitute  can offer the chance of redemption.  This vivid
translation by David McDuff has been acclaimed as the most accessible version of Dostoyevsky’s
great novel  rendering its dialogue with a unique force and naturalism. This edition also
includes a chronology of Dostoyevsky’s life and work.
