About this audiobook
This is the novel that ensured Fyodor Dostoevsky's place as a giant of Russian literature. First published in 1866, this legendary work continues to enthrall readers around the world and earn Dostoevsky legions of fans with every printing. Timeless, and breathtaking in scope, Crime and Punishment-the story of a young Russian intellectual's decision to murder a cruel pawnbroker and his subsequent intellectual and spiritual crisis-is one of the most famous novels in all of literature. This absorbing book attacks the overly logical nihilistic ideals of reason and science and proves that only through love, self-denial and suffering comes salvation. George Guidall's fluent interpretation of the Russian names enhances this deep, multi-leveled text, and liberates Dostoevsky's eternal prose with dimensions of color and feeling lost to the printed page alone.

Excellent book, I don't normally care too much for long drama but this is very substantive with questions related to morals and society. I was very captivated but the story, characters, and the ending was satisfying which didn't leave me hanging.

I see the offer for this book to be $6.95 but when I go to buy it, it says $26.95. I can't find anywhere to get assistance on this. I very much wish to purchase this for$6.95, then it would get 5 stars. Assistance please? Kind thanks .
