Reviews
" A truly great translation . . . Sometimes new translations of old favourites are surplus to our requirements. . . . Sometimes, though, a new translation really makes us see a favourite masterpiece afresh. And this English version of Crime and Punishment really is better . . . . Crime and Punishment, as well as being an horrific story and a compelling drama, is also extremely funny. Ready brings out this quality well. . . . [His] version is colloquial, compellingly modern and-in so far as my amateurish knowledge of the language goes-much closer to the Russian. . . . The central scene in the book . . . is a masterpiece of translation ." - A. N. Wilson, The Spectator "This vivid, stylish and rich rendition by Oliver Ready compels the attention of the reader in a way that none of the others I've read comes close to matching. Using a clear and forceful mid-20th-century idiom, Ready gives us an entirely new kind of access to Dostoyevsky's singular, self-reflexive and at times unnervingly comic text . This is the Russian writer's story of moral revolt, guilt and possible regeneration turned into a new work of art . . . . [It] will give a jolt to the nervous system to anyone interested in the enigmatic Russian author." - John Gray, New Statesman, "Books of the Year" "What a pleasure it is to see Oliver Ready's new translation bring renewed power to one of the world's greatest works of fiction. . . . Ready's work is of substantial and superb quality. . . . [His] version portrays more viscerally and vividly the contradictory nature of Raskolnikov's consciousness. . . . Ready evokes the crux of Crime and Punishment with more power than the previous translators have . . . with an enviably raw economy of prose." - The Curator "Oliver Ready's dynamic translation certainly succeeds in implicating new readers to Dostoyevsky's old novel." - The Times Literary Supplement, " A truly great translation . . .

Synopsis
"A truly great translation . . . This English version . . . really is better." --A. N. Wilson, The Spectator Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read This acclaimed new translation of Dostoyevsky's "psychological record of a crime" gives his dark masterpiece of murder and pursuit a renewed vitality, expressing its jagged, staccato urgency and fevered atmosphere as never before. Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders alone through the slums of St. Petersburg, deliriously imagining himself above society's laws. But when he commits a random murder, only suffering ensues. Embarking on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
