Items related to Crime and Punishment
This classic Russian novel was first published in serial form and later published as a novel. The murder of a pawnbroker and her sister becomes the main plot of the novel. A poor student from Saint Petersburg is the killer. The story tells of the mental and physical effects that follow. A simple murder plot would not make this novel a classic, but when your add a list of complex characters and commentaries on family, alcoholism, revolutionary activity, atheism, and socialism the value of this work is established.

Review:
"Dostoevsky makes Martin Amis seem as if he was writing 130 years ago and that Dostoevsky is writing now. Read all of Dostoevsky. These books are for now and they matter, because it's up to us to call a halt to our TV producers, politicians, gutless artists, poets and writers: these "teenagers of all ages" who are propelling us towards a consumerist hell of disposability over quality" (Billy Childish)
"Dostoevsky's finest masterpiece" (John Bayley)
"Donne, Herbert, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Dostoevsky, Henry James - these are the great psychologists - far greater than Freud or Klein or Jung" (Sally Vickers)
"The best translation of Crime and Punishment currently available... An especially faithful re-creation...with a coiled-spring kinetic energy... Don't miss it" (Washington Post)
"Crime and Punishment...is about a big subject - the meaning of life - yet it is gritty, gripping and it's depiction of city life gives it a modern, timeless feel" (Leila Aboulela, author of The Translator)
