ReviewsPraise for Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation of Crime and Punishment : "Reaches as close to Dostoevsky's Russian as is possible in English. . . . The original's force and frightening immediacy is captured. . . . The Pevear and Volokhonsky translation will become the standard English version."

SynopsisFyodor Dostoevsky's classic tale of one man's pure innocence in the face of a society obsessed with power, money, and manipulation The twenty-six-year-old Prince Myshkin, following a stay of several years in a Swiss sanatorium, returns to Russia to collect an inheritance and "be among people." Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, a rich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into a tragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on the people around him, leading to a final scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.
