    About this audiobook

    Crime and Punishment is the second of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia, and is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. The novel focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in an attempt to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime while ridding the world of a vermin, and to test a theory of his that some people are naturally superior and have the right to commit crimes if it is in pursuit of a higher purpose.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky

    Fjodor Dostojevskí (1821-1881) var rússneskur skáldsagnahöfundur, smásagnahöfundur, ritgerðasmiður og heimspekingur, en bókmenntaverk hans rannsaka sálfræði mannsins í samhengi við Rússland á 19. öld. Helstu verk hans, þar á meðal Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, og The Idiot, kafa ofan í þemu um siðferði, frjálsan vilja, sektarkennd og endurlausn. Djúpstæð áhrif Dostojevskíjs á bókmenntir og tilvistarheimspeki gera hann að einum mesta bókmenntamanni allra tíma.

      Absolutely amazing book. Fyodor Dostoevsky managed to describe literally the human reaction, psychological and emotional struggle with intense and beautiful literature.

      Maybe it was his experience in prison during his lifetime where he managed to make a good observation of the inmates; but his description of the human nature is just amazing.

      The pride, the shame, the guilt, the good and bad will, the emotional roller coaster during this old time classic book is why made him so famous.

      Absolutely loved it, hard to put it down at the same time, every chapter and reaction is something to digest and reflect on oneself.
    • 4/5
      Not a bad book, a bit drawn out at times though.
    • 5/5
      Captivating. The Russian names may be a challenge for English speaking readers to remember. Spark notes came in handy.
    • 1/5
      Bueller? Bueller? Ben Stein would have been a less monotonous narrator.
