This edition offers readers a profound psychological and moral journey through 19th-century St. Petersburg, making it a timeless must-read for literary enthusiasts and professionals seeking intellectual depth. ## 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. So glad I took the plunge. What a great book. It is deep, but so beautifully written...guess that's why it's a classic. Loved the book so much I intend on reading it again. Highly recommend it. Review: No piece of literature has gone as deep into the thematic material as this one - Product Quality: My new copy came in close to Excellent, not perfect. There were about 4 or 5 visible marks, the ink quality was perfect, and thin pages that are expected of penguin classics. Not a perfectly new copy but what is ought to be valued is the story inside. Translatition and Notes Review: Since I started and finished reading this version as a high school freshman, this translation is excellent and my preferred and recommended one. The notes are outstanding with accurate and intriguing details about references in the book. Story Review: This book is the Bible of fiction/historical fiction after The Iliad, a masterpiece that is commonly valued by the giants of fiction literature. Spoiler: It is a slow paced masterpiece that describes a man (Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov) that has killed humans and has to live with it. After I read this book, I never saw the world the same. Dostoyevsky’s literary figures are so incredible that metaphors are sometimes stretched across multiple pages. The first book that made me really sense and imagine things with Fyodor’s precise descriptions. Parts like the end of the third part made me shiver and have anxiety and others had me at the edge of my seat. This literary document has gone the deepest into thematic material than any other and deserves a perfect 10/10 as my favorite book of all time. ## Features - Product Condition: No Defects - Great one for reading - It's a great choice for a book person ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,502 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in History & Criticism of Russian & Soviet Literature #208 in Classic Literature & Fiction #531 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,213 Reviews | ## Images ![Crime and Punishment (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bAXZAp-GL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crime & Punishment...a must read *by A***G on July 29, 2026* 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. ## 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.no/products/233892222-crime-and-punishment-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.no/products/233892222-crime-and-punishment-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
