Publisher Description
Dostoyevsky’s epic masterpiece, unabridged, with an afterword by Robin Feuer Miller
One of the world’s greatest novels, Crime and Punishment is the story of a murder and its consequences—an unparalleled tale of suspense set in the midst of nineteenth-century Russia’s troubled transition to the modern age.
In the slums of czarist St. Petersburg lives young Raskolnikov, a sensitive, intellectual student. The poverty he has always known drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he puts this belief to the test, he suffers unbearably. Crime and punishment, the novel reminds us, grow from the same seed.
“No other novelist,” wrote Irving Howe of Dostoyevsky, “has dramatized so powerfully the values and dangers, the uses and corruptions of systematized thought.” And Friedrich Nietzsche called him “the only psychologist I have anything to learn from.”
With an Introduction by Leonard J. Stanton and James D. Hardy Jr.
and an Afterword by Robin Feuer Miller

Best book I’ve read in a long time!
It will make you a better person :)
Way too many typos!
Too many typos!!!!!!
Crime and Punishment -- great but soooo many transcription errors
This is an extraordinary work but the publisher should be embarrassed to release this version that was clearly not copy-edited. They apparently just OCR'ed it and shipped it. Easily 50-60 errors and I haven't finished the book. The carelessness is very disappointing.
