Crime and Punishment (The Unabridged Garnett Translation) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Psychological Crime Novel of Guilt, Poverty, and Redemption in Nineteenth-Century RussiaBy Fyodor Dostoevsky
Length0m
About this audiobook
Crime and Punishment is Dostoevsky's great psychological novel of murder, guilt, and spiritual reckoning, set amid the oppressive streets and cramped interiors of nineteenth-century St. Petersburg. In Constance Garnett's unabridged translation, the novel's urgent dialogue, feverish introspection, and dramatic moral argument retain the intensity that made it central to Russian realism and a precursor of modern psychological fiction. Through Raskolnikov's crime and its aftermath, Dostoevsky examines utilitarian ethics, alienation, poverty, pride, and the possibility of redemption. Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote from a life marked by political imprisonment, exile in Siberia, illness, debt, and a profound engagement with religious and philosophical questions. His own confrontation with suffering and his observation of radical intellectual currents in Russia helped shape Raskolnikov's dangerous theories and the novel's searching critique of abstract ideology divorced from human compassion. This edition is recommended for readers seeking a complete encounter with one of the defining works of world literature. It will especially reward those interested in moral philosophy, theological drama, urban realism, and the deepest recesses of conscience.
