Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with Porfiry, a suspicious detective, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption. As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky's dark masterpiece evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeries: Penguin Clothbound Classics\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback 720 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Penguin Classics\u003cbr\u003eISBN:9780241347683\u003cbr\u003ePublished:5 Jul 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Looking Glass Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42163621200028,"sku":"","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/5703\/3628\/products\/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky-609193.jpg?v=1703859851","url":"https:\/\/classicliteraturebookshop.com\/products\/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky-author","provider":"The Classic Literature Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
