CRIME AND PUNISHMENT - FJODOR M DOSTOJEWSKIJ KA...

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read 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 new chronology of Dostoyevsky's life and work.
