A celebrated new translation of Dostoevskys masterpiece reveals the social problems facing our own society (Nation). Published to great acclaim and fierce controversy in 1866, Fyodor Dostoevskys Crime and Punishment has left an indelible mark on global literature and on our modern world. Declared a PBS Great American Read, Michael Katzs sparkling new translation gives new life to the story of Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who sees himself as extraordinary and therefore free to commit crimeseven murderin a work that best embodies the existential dilemmas of mans instinctual will to power. Embracing the complex linguistic blend inherent in modern literary Russian, Katz revives the intensity Dostoevskys first readers experienced, and proves that Crime and Punishment still has the power to surprise and enthrall us (Susan Reynolds). With its searing and unique portrayal of the labyrinthine universe of nineteenth-century St. Petersburg, this rare Dostoevsky translation (William Mills Todd III, Harvard) will captivate lovers of world literature for years to come.
