Could an ordinary person, with no hint of malice and no motive but
discovering what it feels like to do it, plot to kill and then
actually murder a total stranger? What if the stranger were a
thoroughly unlikable person hated by everyone who came into contact
with her? One of the great novels of world literature, Crime and
Punishment is a thriller of the conscience, one that wrangles with
morality and its uses-or lack thereof-in the depths of poverty.
Russian novelist FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881)
conceived the character of his putative hero, the impoverished
student Raskolnikov, while he himself was struggling under the
burden of massive debt, and turned his ethical dilemmas into a
literary detective story of the highest order, one in which the
criminal seeks to discover his own motives for his terrible deed.
Renowned for its invention of a more intimate kind of third-person
narration, and featuring narrative manipulations of time and memory
that anticipate the works of authors such as Henry James, Virginia
Woolf, and James Joyce, this classic novel remains essential
reading for all lovers of great literature. This edition presents
the acclaimed 1914 translation by English writer CONSTANCE CLARA
GARNETT (1861-1946), who introduced many of the great Russian
novelists to the British and American public.
