{"product_id":"crime-and-punishment-penguin-clothbound-classics","title":"Crime and Punishment (Penguin Clothbound Classics)","description":"xxxiv, 671 pp. Translated into English from the original Russian, with introduction and notes, by David McDuff. Inspiration for numerous film adaptations. Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without 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, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption. David McDuff's vivid translation has been acclaimed as the most accessible version of Dostoyevsky's great novel, rendering its dialogue with a unique force and naturalism. This edition of Crime and Punishment also includes a new chronology of Dostoyevsky's life and work.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44453862146118,"sku":"2351784","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2351784.jpg?v=1768854069","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/crime-and-punishment-penguin-clothbound-classics","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
