Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law.

But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden sex worker, can offer the chance of redemption.

Dostoyevsky's penetrating novel of an intellectual whose moral compass goes haywire, and the detective who hunts him down for his terrible crime, is a stunning psychological portrait, a thriller, and a profound meditation on guilt and retribution.

I can think of no superlative that could possibly suffice for Dostoevsky’s profound work Crime and Punishment—I am left speechless. But I can say that I found the narration to be superlative. It was such a privilege to listen to this narrator’s brilliant rendering of the novel.

Profound

This story is the first of Dostoyevsky that I have read. It was very sharp and to the point. I have never read an author so good at playing with your emotions and thoughts while you read besides possibly victor hugo. Definitely a masterpiece, the narrator is a little bit slow tho

Very hard to read so I tried the audible & this narration made it seem smooth & captivating. Definitely surprised at this book. Not what I thought it would be at all like a never ending lecture on philosophy or politics. No, definitely a classic where philosophical points were made through character development. Life’s trajectories forwarded from not only circumstances of birth, but on personal accountability.

Perfect narration of a masterpiece
