Fyodor Dostoevsky, Revolution Publishing
Crime and Punishment
eBook
(Revolution Publishing Nov. 30, 2013)
One of the most powerful influential novels of the nineteenth century, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment tells a dark, ideological story of Raskolnikov—a talented former student whose confused philosophical outlook drives him to commit murder. In shock by his sense of guilt and in a state of fear of the consequences, Raskolnikov walks around in a baffled state through the alleys of St. Petersburg trying to escape the already suspicious Porfiry, the detective investigating the crime.
Sonia, a prostitute to support her family, tries to help guide Raskolnikov through his conflict. Full of a depraved state and in combination with suspense, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel remains a deeply compelling consideration of the human psyche.
An immediate success upon its publication in 1866, Crime and Punishment launched Dostoevsky out of the brink of bankruptcy and into the top of world literature. With hundreds of translations from the original Russian, Crime and Punishment is recognized today as a true literary masterpiece, and has been adapted numerous times for both stage and screen.
