About this ebook

 The plot of Crime and Punishment is probably familiar to many. An impoverished former student, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov lives in St. Petersburg. Raskolnikov is a nihilist, driven by a utilitarian prospective, he contemplates committing a terrible crime. Dostoyevsky explores psychology of crime and punishment and focuses on what lies between the two end points. Raskolnikov’s inner world is full of doubts, deliria and despair – partly a result of his utter disregard of social norms. Alienated from society, he is forced to face his tormenting guilt almost completely on his own. Pretty illustrations by Dmitrii Rybalko provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime & Punishment (Illustrated) (1866) (Notes: *A few instances of antiquated/pejorative language regarding race/ethnicity *Quotation marks are inverted/misplaced throughout - open quotation marks are backwards & at the bottom of the text (like backward double commas), while closing quotation marks are in the correct position, but backwards. Occasionally, the closing quotation marks are on the wrong side of the period or comma. *Em dashes (long dashes) are used exclusively throughout. In addition to being used in the appropriate places, they replace dashes/hyphens. Words that wouldn't usually be hyphenated are broken up by a spaced em dash (e.g. "to — day", "to — morrow", "ear — rings", etc.). This is distracting & disruptive to the flow of the text, especially in sentences containing both "hyphenated" words & em dashes to denote parenthetical information. *I suspect this translation leaves much to be desired.)

It would have been great if the name of the translator was included in the book itself.

Очень глубокая книга Достоевского. Интересно, откуда он узнал, какие эмоции испытывает человек, который совершил убийство? Есть о чем подумать. А читая ее на английском, можно хорошо подтянуть свой уровень владения языком! Советую
