{"product_id":"crime-and-punishment-penguin-classics-1","title":"Crime and Punishment (Penguin Classics)","description":"The classic novel of guilt and redemption from one of Russia's greatest novelists\n\nRaskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption.\n\nThis vivid translation by David McDuff has been acclaimed as the most accessible version of Dostoyevsky’s great novel, rendering its dialogue with a unique force and naturalism. This edition also includes a chronology of Dostoyevsky’s life and work.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140449132\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0140449132.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dostoyevsky, Fyodor|McDuff, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
