From [wikipedia][1]:

Crime and Punishment (Russian: Преступлéние и наказáние, tr. Prestupleniye i nakazaniye; IPA: [prʲɪstʊˈplʲenʲə ɪ nəkɐˈzanʲə]) is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866.[1] It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing.[2]

Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless vermin. He also commits this murder to test his …

"Crime é não ler essa obra, castigo é terminar de ler ela"

Cito uma pessoa querida do Mastodon fazendo um trocadilho com o título da obra de Dostoiévski ainda no título da resenha. E o faço porque na minha opinião ela está certa: é um crime não ler Crime e Castigo, pela sua relevância histórica e excelente construção narrativa e literária. Castigo foi terminar de ler um livro de 600 páginas, de bolso ainda, com tipografia minúscula e linhas apertadas.

Penso que, se tivesse umas 100 páginas a menos (e olha que aí seriam 500 páginas nessa edição da L&PM que avalio, não exatamente um livro pequeno), a história teria rolado um pouco menos enfadonha em alguns pontos. Mas Dostoiévski "macetou" aqui, como dizem os jovens. É um romance que marca muito bem o pensamento conservador russo e a grande influência do cristianismo ortodoxo russo no pensamento do autor. Aqui, ele articula um crime como o caso perfeito para avaliar os limites …

Review of 'Les carnets de crime et châtiment' on 'Goodreads'

J'avais déjà commencé à lire ce roman l'année dernière ou la précédente, mais je n'étais pas parvenu à aller bien loin. Cette fois, j'ai persévéré et je ne le regrette pas. Même si l'auteur a parfois tendance à ouvrir de longues parenthèses dans le récit, l'ensemble est finalement plaisant à suivre et passionnant.

Review of 'Dostoevsky Crime & Punishment' on 'Goodreads'

Wow, that was pretty intense. The classic Russian authors were very dialogue heavy, and through translation that makes the writing a bit awkward I feel. Of course, I was reading an older translation in which everything was "Capital! I daresay!". Furthermore, I do not speak Russian and so the common phrases that are used throughout the book are very foreign to me. Despite the sometimes distracting translation, the plot and insight into human anxiety is starkly apparent. An amazing book.

Note for audiobook readers: this is the first book I have ever listened to at double speed. George Guidall's performance is very slow and overly dramatic I think. So don't let the 25 hour length frighten you. It is more like 12.5.

Review of 'Dostoevsky Crime & Punishment' on 'Goodreads'

While I often find it hard to review a classic novel because we already know it’s stood the test of time, it is even harder to review one that has been translated into English as well. Some of the beauty in the writing could have been lost in the translation and because there is so many different translations out there, how do you choose which one to read. This version of Crime and Punishment was translated by David McDuff and I must admit I didn’t really notice anything wrong with the translation at all. It was only upon reflecting that I realised that something could have been lost in the translation.

I have to admit I really love Russian literature and Crime and Punishment will be the front runner for my favourite Russian piece of literature. Raskolnikov is a conflicted character; he is showing a lot of interest in the …
