Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rodion Raskolnikov is a radical, impoverished former student, who decides to see if he can commit the perfect crime and sets out to murder an unscrupulous pawnbroker and ends up murdering her sister as well. Filled with remorse (at which he is somewhat surprised), Raskolnikov is also plagued by the appearance of the detective looking to solve the crime, Porfiry, as well as the visit to St Petersburg of his mother and sister, and also by his developing love for Sonya, the daughter of Marmeladov, whom Raskolnikov tries to help when he is struck by a carriage. Seen as one of Dostoevsky''s greatest works, and a classic of Russian literature, Crime and Punishment is an acute examination of the concepts of morality and justice.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
