TRANSLATED BY RICHARD PEVEAR AND LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY A troubled young man commits what he believes is the perfect crime: the murder of a vile pawnbroker whom no one will miss. Raskolnikov is desperate for money, but convinces himself that his motive is not merely personal gain, but the benefit of mankind. So begins one of the defining works of psychological fiction: a journey into the criminal mind, a police thriller and a philosophical meditation on morality and redemption. As guilt, fear and pride consume him, Raskolnikov is forced to confront the consequences of an idea taken to its most terrible conclusion. Around him move poverty, suspicion, spiritual longing and the possibility of grace. Crime and Punishment is a classic Russian novel about murder, conscience, poverty and moral struggle. For readers of literary crime fiction and philosophical classics, Dostoevsky’s masterpiece remains one of the most searching studies of guilt ever written. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0099981904 | | Dimensions | 13 x 4 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | Isbn 10 | 9780099981909 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0099981909 | | Item Weight | 406 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 592 pages | | Publication Date | 20 May 1993 | | Publisher | Vintage Classics | ## Images ![Crime and Punishment: Dostoevsky’s psychological masterpiece of murder, guilt and conscience - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A193gO2P8WL.jpg) ![Crime and Punishment: Dostoevsky’s psychological masterpiece of murder, guilt and conscience - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NfU3F8MuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thrilling tale of ultimate redemption *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 April 2023* Unquestionably this is the seminal crime and detective novel. In this excellent translation, thenarrative moves breathlessly, providing an unparalleled view into the delusions and flaws of the criminal mind.This is a dark, tragic story of the ultimate redemption of an outsider, rescued by the love and humanity he is initially bereft of.Themes of emerging psychological theories and philosophy run throughout and are explored in an excellent appendix of notes and essay.Together with: ‘Notes from the Underground’, the author offers an insight into Nihilism and utilitarianismA thrilling narrative that twists and turns like the labyrinthine streets of St Petersburg. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best translation of a classic *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 September 2014* Crime and Punishment is my favourite book of all time. I've read the McDuff translation for Penguin 3 times, but this Vintage translation by Pevear and Volokhonsky is the better version. The words fizz from the page, and some of the passages I wasn't keen on in the Penguin edition (Raskolnikov's first encounter with Marmeladov, his visit to Sonia's room) flowed better. The story itself, for those who haven't read it, is the blueprint for psychological thrillers. The psychopath thinks he's committed the perfect crime, but is uncovered by the bumbling but clever investigator. Dostoevsky gets the feverishness of Raskolnikov's monomania across perfectly, marrying it with the power of good as an agent of redemption. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bit bulky for the train, but a good read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 August 2017* It's the first version of Crime & Punishment I've read so don't have anything to compare it to. Still a brilliant, fluid read though.The cover didn't match the listing, but that doesn't make a difference (it was through a third party seller so you it's expected). ## Frequently Bought Together - Crime and Punishment - The Death of Ivan Ilyich (Vintage Classics) - Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/51450400-crime-and-punishment-dostoevsky-s-psychological-masterpiece-of-murder-guilt](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/51450400-crime-and-punishment-dostoevsky-s-psychological-masterpiece-of-murder-guilt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
