Publisher Description

A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty stricken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means?

"I used this audiobook for eng. 4 AP and found it helpful. The only thing is there are jumps in the audiobook from my version of the novel (the one with Joseph Frank's intro; but it doesn't hurt to read a little in between pauses of the audiobook. Also the voices were beneficial."

    " Complex, yet straightforward. Difficult, yet compelling. I am amazed at how it stands the test of time, how a simple premise can be delivered with layers of contrast and that classic internal struggle that sticks with you - good and bad - long after the book has been closed. "

    " One of the classics of 19th century literature. Dostoevsky's tale is eminently readable, but requires full concentration. Each line, every word is of significance and you miss one at your peril. "
