Celebrated for its deep psychological insight and moral complexity, this edition is a must-have for any serious reader or literary collector. ## Description The classic novel of guilt and redemption from one of Russia's greatest novelists Raskolnikov, 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. This 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. Review: Crime & Punishment...a must read - Have always wanted to read this book but was put off by the number of pages.

It is a poignant story of Raskolnikov's fall into torment and madness. Dostoyevsky is such a master at bringing his characters and their struggles to life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique writing style, great story *by R***E on March 28, 2026* What I love about the classics is each author has a unique writing style, and Dostoyevsky is no exception. Most of the story unfolds through lengthy (and sometimes excessively verbose) dialogue, but I grew to really like it by the end of the book. Very unique. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crime and Punishment (Penguin Classics) - The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts and an Epilogue (Penguin Classics) - The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/233892222-crime-and-punishment-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.in/products/233892222-crime-and-punishment-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
