About this product
Product Information
"A truly great translation . . . This English version . . . really is better." --A. N. Wilson, The Spectator Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read This acclaimed new translation of Dostoyevsky's "psychological record of a crime" gives his dark masterpiece of murder and pursuit a renewed vitality, expressing its jagged, staccato urgency and fevered atmosphere as never before. Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders alone through the slums of St. Petersburg, deliriously imagining himself above society's laws. But when he commits a random murder, only suffering ensues. Embarking on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Reviews
" A truly great translation . . . Sometimes new translations of old favourites are surplus to our requirements. . . . Sometimes, though, a new translation really makes us see a favourite masterpiece afresh. And this English version of Crime and Punishment really is better . . . . Crime and Punishment, as well as being an horrific story and a compelling drama, is also extremely funny. Ready brings out this quality well. . . . [His] version is colloquial, compellingly modern and-in so far as my amateurish knowledge of the language goes-much closer to the Russian. . . . The central scene in the book . . . is a masterpiece of translation ." - A. N. Wilson, The Spectator "This vivid, stylish and rich rendition by Oliver Ready compels the attention of the reader in a way that none of the others I've read comes close to matching. Using a clear and forceful mid-20th-century idiom, Ready gives us an entirely new kind of access to Dostoyevsky's singular, self-reflexive and at times unnervingly comic text . This is the Russian writer's story of moral revolt, guilt and possible regeneration turned into a new work of art . . . . [It] will give a jolt to the nervous system to anyone interested in the enigmatic Russian author." - John Gray, New Statesman, "Books of the Year" "What a pleasure it is to see Oliver Ready's new translation bring renewed power to one of the world's greatest works of fiction. . . . Ready's work is of substantial and superb quality. . . . [His] version portrays more viscerally and vividly the contradictory nature of Raskolnikov's consciousness. . . . Ready evokes the crux of Crime and Punishment with more power than the previous translators have . . . with an enviably raw economy of prose." - The Curator "Oliver Ready's dynamic translation certainly succeeds in implicating new readers to Dostoyevsky's old novel." - The Times Literary Supplement, " A truly great translation . . . Sometimes new translations of old favourites are surplus to our requirements. . . . Sometimes, though, a new translation really makes us see a favourite masterpiece afresh. And this English version of Crime and Punishment really is better . . . . Crime and Punishment, as well as being an horrific story and a compelling drama, is also extremely funny.

Inside one finds an excellent apparatus: a chronology, a terrific contextualizing introduction , a handy compendium of suggestions for further reading, and cogent notes on the translation. . . . But the best part is Ready's supple translation of the novel itself. Ready manages to cleave as closely as any prior translator to both spirit and letter, while rendering them into an English that is a relief to read." -- The East-West Review "Oliver Ready's dynamic translation certainly succeeds in implicating new readers to Dostoyevsky's old novel." -- The Times Literary Supplement "What a pleasure it is to see Oliver Ready's new translation bring renewed power to one of the world's greatest works of fiction. . . .

His translation also manages to revive the disturbing humor of the original. . . . In some places, Ready's version echoes Pevear and Volokhonsky's prize-winning Nineties version, but he often renders Dostoyevsky's text more lucidly while retaining its deliberately uncomfortable feel. . . . Ready's colloquial, economical use of language gives the text a new power ." -- Russia Beyond the Headlines "[A] five-star hit, which will make you see the original with new eyes." -- The Times Literary Supplement , "Books of the Year", " A truly great translation . . .
