Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 novel Crime and Punishment, arguably the
first modern exploration of psychological realism, is not only a
gem of Russian literature but an internationally renowned classic.
Now this masterpiece has been vividly transformed by the powerful
illustrations of renowned graphic artist Dave McKean, whose
multimedia paintings are shrouded with the specters and shadows of
Raskolnikov's fever dreams. Featuring over one hundred full-page
paintings, spot illustrations and illuminated letters, and housed
in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an
heirloom edition designed as a work of art in its own right.
Featuring an introduction by Lonny Harrison. 9x12", 346 pages.
An Unabridged Edition with both Parts I and II Including A "Note
from the Author"-
An unabridged extract from Dostoevsky's celebrated Novel, The
Brothers Karamazof -
Poor Folk is an epistolary novel -- that is, a tale told as a
series of letters between the characters. And oh, what characters
these are Makar Dievushkin Alexievitch is a copy writer, barely
squeaking by; Barbara Dobroselova Alexievna works as a seamstress,
and both face the sort of everyday humiliation society puts upon
the poor. These are people respected by no one, not even by
themselves. These are folks too poor, in their circumstances, to
marry; the love between them is a chaste and proper thing, a love
that brings some readers to tears. But it isn't maudlin, either;
Fyodor Dostoevsky has something profound to say about these people
and this circumstance. And he says it very well. When the book was
first published a leading Russian literary critic of the day --
Belinsky -- prophesied that Dostoevsky would become a literary
giant. It isn't hard to see how he came to that conclusion, and in
hindsight, he was surely was correct.

1911. The House of the Dead is a fictionalized memoir of a man
serving a ten-year prison sentence for murdering his wife and was
written in 1861. Dostoyevsky drew heavily from his own four-year
prison internment in a Siberian prison to draw attention to the
dehumanizing, deadening effects of the modern prison system and
invoke his philosophies of better ways of treating and
rehabilitating prisoners. See other titles by this author available
