When he commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that, for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky’s masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imaginations. Award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky render this elusive and wildly innovative novel with an energy, suppleness, and range of voice that do full justice to the genius of its creator. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman’s Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times. Review: Excellent - It's arrived in perfect condition. love it. Review: Translation makes all the difference - I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get through this classic but the accolades given to the translators gave me the courage to give it a shot. Beware if you are not used to reading a slow moving and highly descriptive book. An avid reader interested in the classics will find this translation delightful but in the Twitter age many no doubt will drop off and lose interest. However, if your even reading this review and thinking of reading this classic then you’re probably a regular book reader. Nonetheless, just a warning more modern readers to be ready. For me, it was a bit challenging to keep the characters straight at times. Sometimes their proper name was used, other times their nickname. And there are quite a few characters and the Russian names made it a bit more difficult to track who was who. If you find yourself stalling as you read because of this, I recommend to keep moving otherwise you may get frustrated. It keeps it more fun and also there is a profound question/insight that is brought up by the main character that was fascinating. I won’t reveal and spoil it. If you’ve never read this book or tried in school back in the day but it made no sense, this translation may be the best for English speakers. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #63,839 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #47 in Russian & Soviet Literature (Books) #1,531 in Classic Literature & Fiction #3,894 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 830 Reviews | ## Images ![Crime and Punishment (Everyman's Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71++AI6Lk+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by P***. on May 23, 2026* It's arrived in perfect condition. love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Translation makes all the difference *by G***Y on October 1, 2022* I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get through this classic but the accolades given to the translators gave me the courage to give it a shot.

A Truely Interesting and Great Novel...INDEED! *by T***H on May 3, 2018* What can I add about this long-time magnificent novel "Crime and Punishment"? Written back in 1866, it is still very relevant and very "contemporary" because it is about you, him, her, and I; it is about humans and human nature. It is about wealth and about abject poverty. It is about selfishness; and about selflessness and sacrifices. It is about darkness; and it is about a bright new day after the darkest of the nights. This great novel is deeply psychological, but can easily be understood and appreciated if you are interested in human nature, its complexities, and the philosophy of good and evil. It is not just about Crime or about Punishment. The writing style may seem little odd, but I found it very interesting and engaging. Though a very serious and overall "sad" novel, it has an occasional small dose of quality humor as well. Richard Pevear’s translation is smooth, and it makes this great novel accessible and available to all who can read English. About this edition: "Everyman's Library" edition (hardcover) is so beautiful, and so majestic that I ordered a few other classics published by them. They all look great on my book-shelf while I plan to read them one great classic novel at a time. It is a long novel, but very absorbing and totally engaging. Dostoyevsky was indeed a genius writer, and an exceptionally skilled story-teller. I assure you that every second of your precious time reading it is totally worth it.
