Summary
It is a murder story， told from a murderer's point of view， that implicates even the most innocent reader in its enormities。 It is a cat-and-mouse game between a tormented young killer and a cheerfully implacable detective。 It is a preternaturally acute investigation of the forces that impel a man toward sin， suffering， and grace。
Ever since its publication in 1866 Crime and Punishment has intrigued readers and sorely tested translators， the best of whom seemed to capture one facet of Dostoevsky's masterpiece while missing the rest。 Now 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。

"He kept tormenting and taunting himself with these questions， even taking a certain delight in it。 None of the questions was new or sudden， however; they were all old， sore， long-standing。 They had begun torturing him long ago and had worn out his heart。 Long， long ago， this present anguish had been born in him， had grown， accumulated， and ripened recently and become concentrated， taking the form of a horrible， wild， and fantastic question that tormented his heart and mind， irresistibly demandi "He kept tormenting and taunting himself with these questions， even taking a certain delight in it。 None of the questions was new or sudden， however; they were all old， sore， long-standing。 They had begun torturing him long ago and had worn out his heart。 Long， long ago， this present anguish had been born in him， had grown， accumulated， and ripened recently and become concentrated， taking the form of a horrible， wild， and fantastic question that tormented his heart and mind， irresistibly demanding resolution。 And now his mother's letter suddenly struck him like a thunderbolt。 Clearly， he now had not to be anguished， not to suffer passively， by mere reasoning about unresolvable questions， but to do something without fail， at once， quickly。 Decide at all costs to do something， or。。。'Or renounce life altogether！' he suddenly cried out in frenzy。 'Accept fate obediently as it is， once and for all， and stifle everything in myself， renouncing any right to act， to live， to love！'" 。。。more

Tato kniha byla něco neuvěřitelného。Sáhla jsem po ni kvůli povinné četbě ve škole， odkladam ji jako jednu z mých oblíbených klasik。 Skvěle napsané， jsem pyšná， ze mam za sebou svého prvního （ a dle mých dojmu a ne posledního） Dostojevského

jestem zawiedziona， miałam duże oczekiwania i przy omawianiu na lekcjach naprawdę mi się podobało o czym mówimy， ale przebrnięcie przez nią to była męka nie wiem czym spowodowana; nie poddaje się i sięgnę jeszcze po Dostojewskiego - może nawet w oryginale

Don't worry if someone has spoiled the book for you it doesn't matter。 The biggest and most valuable part of the story is the psychology， explanation and inner monologue the character has。 Don't worry if someone has spoiled the book for you it doesn't matter。 The biggest and most valuable part of the story is the psychology， explanation and inner monologue the character has。 。。。more

Joker （1866）。I thought when I started reading Crime and Punishment that it was going to be stuffy and maybe boring but WOW was I wrong。 Gripping， fascinating， nerve-wracking - but at the same time meditative， contemplative， and philosophical。 Really this has to be one of my favorite books ive read。 The themes touched on in this book are so cool to think about - well， they’re not so much “touched on” but thoroughly explored by our characters in conversation as they sit in dingy pubs and dilapidat Joker （1866）。I thought when I started reading Crime and Punishment that it was going to be stuffy and maybe boring but WOW was I wrong。 Gripping， fascinating， nerve-wracking - but at the same time meditative， contemplative， and philosophical。 Really this has to be one of my favorite books ive read。 The themes touched on in this book are so cool to think about - well， they’re not so much “touched on” but thoroughly explored by our characters in conversation as they sit in dingy pubs and dilapidated apartments。 And the characters！ There is so much to talk about here that I would just say to please get this on your LIST 。。。more

Never have I read a book that made me， as the reader， feel so insane as Crime & Punishment。 Interesting glimpse into 1800 Russia， fascinating plot， and of course interesting moral conundrums of how acts are justified or not。

Being one of my most anticipated books， "Crime And Punishment"'s dark theme had a strong grip on me from the beginning。 Although， I must admit， the grip became a little weak in the middle with dense dialogues and repeated ideas; but had eventually regained its strength as the book approached its end。 I absolutely loved the last paragraph for some reason， reading and thinking about it again and again。 Through this book， Dostoyevsky explores emotions not many of us are fond of exploring— feeling o Being one of my most anticipated books， "Crime And Punishment"'s dark theme had a strong grip on me from the beginning。 Although， I must admit， the grip became a little weak in the middle with dense dialogues and repeated ideas; but had eventually regained its strength as the book approached its end。 I absolutely loved the last paragraph for some reason， reading and thinking about it again and again。 Through this book， Dostoyevsky explores emotions not many of us are fond of exploring— feeling of helplessness and anger that stems from poverty， being on the other side of privilege， simultaneous pride and guilt that comes along with the repercussions of a crime， which in turn sends pangs of paranoia and delusion to spice things up。 And the characters are busy finding a way out of these feelings through self destructive actions， cloathed in the name of some higher， moral purpose。 I don't want to get into details with the theme or the storyline， I feel that might give away a lot of the book's essence。 Just know that Dostoyevsky does a very good job in deconstructing a criminal's mind， revealing a new layer of notion each time， and it all proves to make sense until it comes at the cost of someone's life。 A brilliant book nonetheless。 。。。more

Great characters and a gripping plot， but I wish it was about 20% shorter。 I feel like all books from the 1800s drag a little， and this one drags a lot less than normal。 But still。

3。5 stars！ I have long loved Russian novels with themes of internal turmoil and right vs wrong， but I’m not going to lie it took me a lot of effort to get through this book！ This was my second time reading it， and much like the first time， I found that it didn’t resound in my heart like other Russian novels do/have。 Maybe in a couple of years when I read it again， I will feel differently。 As a stand-alone book， it’s great。 The plot is fascinating and it’s so well written。 I see why it’s a Russia 3。5 stars！ I have long loved Russian novels with themes of internal turmoil and right vs wrong， but I’m not going to lie it took me a lot of effort to get through this book！ This was my second time reading it， and much like the first time， I found that it didn’t resound in my heart like other Russian novels do/have。 Maybe in a couple of years when I read it again， I will feel differently。 As a stand-alone book， it’s great。 The plot is fascinating and it’s so well written。 I see why it’s a Russian classic。 。。。more

An interesting extravagant story about a young man disillusioned with the world and his place in it。 I think he is either bipolar or just crazy。 There are many thoughtful discussions from several intellectuals in the story。 I think it shows a full range of the people in the Soviet Union and how many of them make a living。

It is not the easiest book to read， it is long and gloomy， but the main theme of "Crime and Punishment" is unusual， and the depressing setting completes the whole atmosphere of the book。 I don't know if I would say that I recommend this book， but it was definitely worth reading。 It is not the easiest book to read， it is long and gloomy， but the main theme of "Crime and Punishment" is unusual， and the depressing setting completes the whole atmosphere of the book。 I don't know if I would say that I recommend this book， but it was definitely worth reading。 。。。more

"The Crime was that this novel was written and The Punishment was that we had to read it。" :DThis was a hilarious review on Goodreads somewhere which I found appropriate when I was starting the novel。 I could barely read 20 pages or so in my first 3-4 sittings。 Thanks to the Lockdown though， I had much time on my hands & I was determined to complete this classic。 Now that I am done with it， here's my 2 cents-The book definitely comprises of all the elements of a classic- an idealistic protagonis "The Crime was that this novel was written and The Punishment was that we had to read it。" :DThis was a hilarious review on Goodreads somewhere which I found appropriate when I was starting the novel。 I could barely read 20 pages or so in my first 3-4 sittings。 Thanks to the Lockdown though， I had much time on my hands & I was determined to complete this classic。 Now that I am done with it， here's my 2 cents-The book definitely comprises of all the elements of a classic- an idealistic protagonist， some eccentric side characters， plot flirting with philosophy， politics， patriarchy， social injustice and what not！It definitely consists of plenty of deeply engaging conversations and monologues。The central theme of the book in itself is worth pondering on。 Most of the conflicts that the book tries to bring to the readers attention are still very much relevant today about 150 years after its first publication！Now if the book ticks so many boxes of being a classic then why did I give it only 3 stars！Two reasons， 2nd reason more prominent than the first-First reason， there were a lot of sub plots， character traits and detailing which were either specific for the time （1850s） &/or the place （Russia） it was written。 Which made a lot of things irrelevant as the reader to me reading in 2021 in India。 Second reason， it is an excruciatingly long book。 Almost throughout the read I found myself keeping a check of how much is left to finish & thus enjoying less than I could've/should've。 I'm not saying it was boring per se， it was definitely an enjoyable and engaging novel， but if not for this lockdown I doubt I'd have been able to make time for reading this lengthy albeit beautifully written book and that would've been a shame。 Hence the 3 stars。 Final verdict- If you have the time to， definitely read it。 The degree may vary but you'll like it for sure。 。。。more
