Crime and Punishment (two Volumes) (humanities Classics Library)
About This Novel
"Crime and Punishment" is the representative work of Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky and brought the writer world-wide reputation. The protagonist of the novel, Raskolnikov, a poor college student, took a desperate risk and killed an old woman who was a loan shark. He also killed the old woman's sister who happened to see all this. Despite having his own theory of the murder, he was still tortured by his own guilt. Finally, he surrendered under Sonia's persuasion, determined to use human suffering to cleanse his sins and soul. Zang Zhonglun is well versed in the essence of Dostoyevsky's creation, especially the depth of thought, complexity of psychological description, inner tension and religious and philosophical color of his works. His translation can accurately convey the intense, contradictory, and morbid psychological activities of the characters in the original work (such as Raskolnikov's inner struggles, dreams, and gibbering), as well as the depressive, anxious, and almost hysterical atmosphere that pervades the entire book. Our agency owns the exclusive copyright of the translation by translator Zang Zhonglun.
