  • Critical Reception

    • "This fresh, new translation... provides a more exact, idiomatic, and contemporary rendition of the novel that brings Fyodor Dostoevsky's tale achingly alive... It succeeds beautifully." - San Francisco Chronicle
    • "This is a intoxicating book that wraps you into the plot and carries you into the mind of a confused man who is stricken with poverty. Because of his destitute situation, Raskolikov believes that he is morally above other men and therefore has the right to kill without punishment." - Barnes & Noble user review
