Description
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a powerful psychological novel that explores the complexities of morality and the human psyche. In this gripping tale, a young man's decision to commit a heinous crime sets off a chain of events that lead to devastating consequences. As the protagonist grapples with guilt, fear, and the influence of love, the police detective on his trail becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth. Against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia, Dostoyevsky masterfully weaves together themes of social justice, personal responsibility, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. This new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater brings a fresh perspective to this enduring masterpiece, accompanied by editorial material from leading expert Dr Sarah J.
