Crime and Punishment: Penguin Clothbound Classics by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read, Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s seminal classic is now available in a beautiful, clothbound edition. Designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, this collectible volume is a stunning tribute to one of the most profound works of world literature.

A Descent into Guilt and Redemption

Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, commits a random murder without a hint of remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon, acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, his world begins to crumble. Raskolnikov is pursued relentlessly by the growing voice of his own conscience, and the noose of his own guilt tightens around his neck. His only chance for redemption comes from Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute who can offer a path back from the brink of despair.
