Descriere Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

This edition of one of the world's greatest novels--the classic story of justice, morality, and redemption set in19th-century Russia--features a new Afterword and a brand-new package. Revised reissue. \n \nDostoyevsky's epic masterpiece, unabridged, with an afterword by Robin Feuer Miller \n \nOne of the world's greatest novels, Crime and Punishment is the story of a murder and its consequences--an unparalleled tale of suspense set in the midst of nineteenth-century Russia's troubled transition to the modern age. \n \nIn the slums of czarist St. Petersburg lives young Raskolnikov, a sensitive, intellectual student. The poverty he has always known drives him to believe that he is exempt from moral law. But when he puts this belief to the test, he suffers unbearably. Crime and punishment, the novel reminds us, grow from the same seed. \n \nNo other novelist, wrote Irving Howe of Dostoyevsky, has dramatized so powerfully the values and dangers, the uses and corruptions of systematized thought. And Friedrich Nietzsche called him the only psychologist I have anything to learn from. \n \nWith an Introduction by Leonard J. Stanton and James D. Hardy Jr. \nand an Afterword by Robin Feuer Miller \n\n
