Editorial Review of Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics)
A troubled young man commits the perfect crime: the murder of a vile pawnbroker whom no one will miss. Raskolnikov is desperate for money, but he convinces himself that his motive for the murder is to benefit mankind. So begins a tragic novel that illuminates the eternal struggle between human emotions and desire, and the harsh laws of ethics and justice. Part thriller and part philosophical meditation, this is a penetrating look at the core of human nature.
Customer Reviews of Crime and Punishment (Vintage Classics)

Review Summary: Correct Edition?
Review: I just purchased and received this product from Amazon and am not quite certain it is the edition as listed here. The one I received clearly indicates being published in 2007 and there is no indication of it being the NEW edition (July1, 2008) noted in the description. Given the date, this would appear a valid question. Can anyone enlighten me, or should this product be returned pending the release of the actual advertised edition?

Review Summary: Living Translation of an Alive Novel
Review: Anyone who has delved into Russian literature knows the critical importance of the translator(s) - Tolstoy can be made brilliant or a bore, and the same goes for Dostoevsky.
Translating one of the world's foremost novels is no small task, but Pevear and Volkhonsky do the work invisibly and artfully, capturing the dark but vivid language of Dostoevsky's ever-modern novel. From the psychosis of Raskolnikov to the cold calculations of Luzhin, this translation captures Dostoevsky's unbelievably believable, sometimes disturbingly accurate portrayal of humanity's nuerosis.
"Crime and Punishment" inspired everything from modern crime fiction to Sigmund Freud - it is a must-read for readers, students of Russian, and would-be criminals alike. Thanks to Pevear and Volokhonsky for making it so readable.
