Publisher Description

Crime and Punishment is the story of a crime - a double murder committed by a student for the money. However simple the plot is, the novel becomes etched into the mind and soul of a reader or listener. What is so enigmatic about it? Besides the plain and obvious - that it is all due to Dostoevsky's genius - there is at least one other explanation: some questions do not have any unsophisticated and definite answers. Poverty, distress, and the suffering of loved ones have always pushed people to make a choice: May I break any moral law now to save those humiliated and support those weak in the future, or shall I love myself first and then, after becoming stronger, love my neighbor? These are eternal questions.

"Crime and Punishment centers upon the story of a young Russian student, Raskolnikov, who plots and carries out a brutal murder. However, this is less than a quarter of the story. The rest centers upon his attempts to come to terms with the philosophical and psycological consequences of his act. Aiding, or hindering, him in this endevor are a series of characters from the kind-hearted prostitute Sonia and her drunken father, the unrepentant scoundrel Svidrigailov, Raskolnikov's best friend Razumihin, and the police detective come amateur psychologist Porfiry Petrovich. Though the story develops slowly, with many detours, Raskolnikov's journey through crime and punishment remains gripping until the very last page."

    " More challenging than any thriller book or movie I have read / seen in years. Vivid descriptions, dramatic turns of situation, a very refined analysis of human mind. "

    " It took a little while to get into it, and I think this is partly because of when it was written and the language that was used. It definitely didn't draw me in the way most good modern books do, but it was still enjoyable, and the story was good. "

    " read the idiot, the gambler or brothers Karamazov instead. what starts as a pretty good psychological thriller stops dead cause my man Fyodor needed some money and slapped on an ending that the Vatican would be proud of. "

    " This is one of the few books of which I can truly say: it changed my life. Others can discuss the quality of the story, but for me its greatest power was that it held up a mirror and showed me what I was and what I could be. When it did that, I knew why I could not remain as I was. "

    " Just...couldn't...finish... 535 pages read (out of 810). It was interesting for a while, but just got too damn long and I couldn't handle another character with some insanely long Russian name being thrown into the mix. Hey, I tried. "

    " A great look at the mind of a criminal. This being said, it went on too long, the subplots weren't good, and the ending was dreadful. I could barely finish it. This is one of the first "classics" that I felt was very overrated. "
