desertcart.com: Crime and Punishment: Deluxe Hardbound Edition: 9789354403798: Dostoevsky, Fyodor: Books

Review: Easily one of the best classics I have ever read - Fyodor Dostoyevsky generally seemed to write books set in the quirky period of time sandwiched in between serfdom and the Communist Revolution in Russia somewhere in the late 19th century. It is a point in time which most people living today could not personally attest to or even have much knowledge about yet it seems oddly familiar in many ways to modern society. It is hierarchical with various classes having obvious advantages over the others yet it wasn't overly strict like a caste system from which one was cemented into a position in society and could not escape. It also had a strong bureaucracy which society seemed to value and hold in somewhat high regard due to an appreciation of the benefits it provides to a society in need of order and discipline while at the same time chafing at the ways in which it stifled creativity and personal freedom. Against that backdrop this book paints a portrait of a young man who commits a robbery and murder which he argues about for a fair portion of the book within his own mind as he lurches back and forth between despising himself and feeling justified in doing it "for the greater good." There is also a fair amount of characters in this book who push and pull the main character from various directions as he processes what he has done and how he really feels about it and someone much smarter than me has probably analyzed if these characters had any symbolic meaning or not, but they seem like an odd mix. The main character is a university student driven to crime by desperation mixed with intellectually inspired notions of class warfare. He meets a man at a tavern who is an alcoholic and befriends him early in the book only to later meet the mans daughter and develop a relationship with her. The woman is somewhat similar to the main character in that she is badly conflicted as well in that she professes to be a Christian yet makes a living as a prostitute due to her family being so desperately poor. She becomes a sort of moral voice for the main character. The main character's sister also appears in town and there is a whole subplot about how she is going to marry a wealthy man to help her family while at the same time being pursued/blackmailed by another man who is obsessed with her only to reject them both for an idealistic third man. There is also a detective who joins the cast at some point and suspects the main character of his crime even though he has little real evidence. He thereafter engages in a psychological game with the main character to break him into confessing. The story also has odd similarities to Doctor Zhivago and the Tell tale Heart. Edgar Allen Poe wrote the Tell tale Heart in the 1840's and FD didn't write this story until the 1860's while Doctor Zhivago was written sometime in the early 1950's but whether any are similar to another intentionally or due to mere coincidence is beyond my knowledge. I am just noting that because I kept thinking about it while I read it and so many of the characters reminded me of characters from there. In any event, the real theme of this book seems to be the conflict between faith and reason. The main character knows things he is doing (or has done) are wrong, but justifies many of them intellectually and politically only to feel conflicted about them. In the end though the book is really about a journey through the process of faith and reason while at the same time offering a commentary of what the author must have perceived as a rise in intellectual and political thoughts and actions at the expense of morality and truth. Perhaps he divined the coming Revolution or maybe the book is not that deep. I really am somewhat uncertain but I know that I enjoyed reading it and each time I read it I end up thinking more deeply about what the author means, what he was thinking and if he was trying to say something I am not yet grasping. All of these to me are good signs that a book is worthy of reading and enjoying.
Review: A Psychological Masterpiece in a Stunning Edition - This deluxe hardbound edition of "Crime and Punishment" is absolutely beautiful - gold-embossed cover, thick cream pages, and a ribbon bookmark. It's the kind of edition that makes you want to slow down and savor every page, which is exactly what Dostoevsky deserves. And what a novel this is. I'd read it years ago in college and remember finding it heavy going, but returning to it as an adult was a completely different experience. Raskolnikov's psychological unraveling after committing murder is one of the most intense character studies I've ever encountered. The guilt, the fever dreams, the cat-and-mouse game with Porfiry - it's absolutely gripping. What surprised me most was how modern it feels. The existential questions Dostoevsky wrestles with - about morality, suffering, redemption, and what makes us human - are as relevant today as they were in 1866. And despite the darkness, there's genuine compassion throughout, especially in the character of Sonia. The translation in this edition is excellent and very readable. The binding is solid and the typesetting is clean and generous, making it easy on the eyes for such a substantial read. If you're going to read this masterpiece, do it right with this edition. It's an heirloom-quality book that does justice to one of literature's greatest psychological thrillers. Absolutely worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Psychological Thriller
*by P***K on May 14, 2014*

The only thing that kept me from doing a 5-star rating was the difficulty in keeping track of characters, a drawback in other Russian novels I've read, too. Perhaps I should have started a list of characters, but that would have felt too much like reading in preparation for class discussion. However, Kindle's "X-Ray" feature was very helpful whenever I wasn't quite sure which character was involved. The story itself was very engrossing, reminding me of epsiodes of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "Criminal Minds" in written form. Once the exciting force gets things moving, Dostoevsky's omniscient, third person point of view provides an intriguing view into the mind of a man trying to plan "a perfect" crime. Once the crime has been committed, the protagonist almost immediately begins agonizing over how something he forgot to do (or did) might reveal that he is the guilty person. Interjected into this situation are his sister and mother, who decide to move close to him; and his existing friends, who express concern and fear over his changed behavior. Of course, a crime novel would be incomplete without detectives and other police officials, and there are just enough of them to create all manner of havoc in the protagonist's already overly stressed mind. Eventually the question of whether he'll be discovered is superceded by the question of how he'll be caught. Or will he turn himself in because he's ashamed that his "perfect" crime fell far short of that goal? As in most Russian novels, philosophies about crime, the people who commit it, and the price they pay physically, mentally, and personally are at the forefront. At one point, the protagonist somehow rationalizes that he belongs to the "type of people" whose crimes deserve recognition and appreciation, rather than punishment. If you enjoy the "True Crime" section of your local bookstore, I think you might like this one.
