Crime and Punishment is one of the greatest and most readable novels ever written.From the beginning we are locked into the frenzied consciousness of Raskolnikov who,against his better instincts,is inexorably drawn to commit a brutal double murder.
From that moment on,we share his conflicting feelings of self-loathing and pride,of contempt for and need of others,and of terrible despair and hope of redemption:and,in a remarkable transformation of the detective novel,we follow his agonised efforts to probe and confront both his own motives for,and the consequences of,his crime.
The result is a tragic novel built out of a series of supremely dramatic scenes that illuminate the eternal conflicts at the heart of human existence:most especially our desire for self-expression and self-fulfilment,as against the constraints of morality and human laws;and our agonised awareness of the world's harsh injustices and of our own mortality,as against the mysteries of divine justice and immortality.
Book Description
Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
"Crime and Punishment", based on Dostoevsky's own experience of the justice and penal system of Tsarist Russia, is a dark tale set in the dingy streets of St Petersburg, concerning the actions of a murderer who decides to commit homicide as a matter of principle.
All that can be said has already been said. Newcomers have to struggle to find a new topic, which is never entirely out of the question the masters have already talked about--more or less.

大致同意纳博科夫对这本书的批评(和一些杰出作者相比写作技巧还不够好;圣女人物老套脱离现实,等等)。不过如果不当文学作品,而当作一种心理研究来看,或者用来了解当时的社会百态,或者借此启发对一些道德问题的探讨, 都是可以收获很多的

俄罗斯文学少见的happy ending,看完都有点吃惊。不管怎么说,欣赏RRR和索尼娅的爱情,两个不同程度上的“罪人”之间却有着那么神圣的爱。

读的是Rochard Pevear的译本,听的是Constance Garnett。感觉Garnett要更文学一些,Pevear偏直译。成长是多么漫长的一条路啊。
