Livro - Crime And Punishment

Dostoevsky¿s drama of sin, guilt, and redemption transforms the sordid story of an old woman¿s murder into the nineteenth century¿s profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel

Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the st

Petersburg of the tsars, is determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammeled individual will

When he commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that, for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world

The best known of dostoevsky¿s masterpieces, crime and punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imaginations

Award-winning translators richard pevear and larissa volokhonsky render this elusive and wildly innovative novel with an energy, suppleness, and range of voice that do full justice to the genius of its creator.

Is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written

From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of raskolnikov who, against his better instincts, is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder

From that moment on, we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride, of contempt for and need of others, and of terrible despair and hope of redemption: and, in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel, we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for, and the consequences of, his crime

The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence: most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment, as against the constraints of morality and human laws; and our agonised awareness of the world's harsh injustices and of our own mortality, as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality
