by Fyodor M. Dostoevsky (Author), Constance Garnett (Translator)
Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic of Russian literature in its first--and still, arguably, best--translation by Constance Garnett, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line.
Set in the slums of nineteenth-century Saint Petersburg, Russia, Crime and Punishment follows Raskolnikov, and impoverished ex-student, who rationalizes committing criminal acts for the greater good. However, a momentous decision triggers a tense cat-and-mouse game that sees him pursued by authorities, while wrestling with the weight of his own moral anguish. Originally published in 1866, Dostoevsky's "masterwork" (The New Yorker) is the quintessential psychological crime thriller and widely considered one of the greatest novels of all time.Author Biography
