This Wordsworth Classics edition offers an accessible yet profound reading experience, perfect for both seasoned readers and newcomers alike. ## Description Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written. From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder. From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime. The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised awareness of the world's harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality. Review: Historic Books' Theme Still Valid - I had read this many years ago while in college, and decided that in light of the current times, I needed to reread it. I'm very glad it was required reading when I was in college. Although it is complicated by many sub-plots, it was well worth my time. It is not something you read to be entertained, but to learn about life and its' difficulties. The books' basic premise - "'do the ends justify the means, or do immoral means corrupt the ends" is still valid in my opinion. It also shows how true Christian love has the power to overcome evil even when you live in abject poverty. Children younger than high school seniors should not read it, the murder description is likely to be too shocking. Review: Best Done Slowly - Can't believe I finished the whole thing. Trying to broaden my horizons during Covid quarantine, as I mostly read science and math related material. Difficult going given the number of characters and sub-plots, especially for a non-novel-reader such as myself. But worth it---very psychologically oriented book with insights into well-developed characters. Best read perhaps, as they say one should eat an elephant --- a little bit at a time! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,533 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in History & Criticism of Russian & Soviet Literature #86 in Russian & Soviet Literature (Books) #1,201 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,460 Reviews | ## Images ![Crime and Punishment (Wordsworth Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SPAt4haYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historic Books' Theme Still Valid *by A***G on November 15, 2020* I had read this many years ago while in college, and decided that in light of the current times, I needed to reread it.
