Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky: His works, firmly situated within the canon of Russian literature, remain uniquely profound 145 years after his death. Crime and Punishment, his most widely read novel, follows Raskolnikov, a tormented protagonist who grapples with the immensity of the human condition, exploring the abysmal weight of conscience, morality and isolation. It is a truly remarkable novel that continues to resonate with readers more than 160 years after its publication.

The book is in excellent condition. The hardback edition is complete with its original dust jacket, preserved in a protective cover, showcasing its specially designed lithographic illustration. The top edge is stained red, maintaining the book’s cohesive aesthetic. Throughout the volume are 12 lithographic illustrations by Van Rossem, together with a remarkable frontispiece.

Published by the Folio Society in 1957, this edition is ideal for any Dostoevsky readers seeking a volume whose exterior beautifully reflects the angst and intensity of his literary world.

This book is being sold at £150.
