中文简介：Crime and Punishment《罪与罚》是俄国文学家陀斯妥耶夫斯基的长篇小说作品，出版于1866年，在他穷困时仓促完成，与《战争与和平》并列被认为是最具影响力的俄国小说。本作品是关于一个贫穷的法律系大学生拉斯柯尼科夫的故事，他离群索居，赁居在彼得堡一个窄小的房间，不远处住着掌管当铺的老太婆。老太婆为人吝啬，只愿意付极少的代价来收购人们去典当的物品。拉斯柯尼科夫长期罹患忧郁症，并拥有实践他所谓伟人可以舍弃一切道德约束乃至有权力犯罪的念头；于是于谋划后以斧头砍死当铺的老太婆，并失手杀死她的妹妹丽莎维塔，匆匆拿走一些珠宝与钱财，从此他便在自身罪恶感的折磨下受尽痛苦。

英文简介：Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the tsars, is determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammeled individual will. When he commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that, for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky’s masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imaginations.

Dostoevsky’s drama of sin, guilt, and redemption transforms the sordid story of an old woman’s murder into the nineteenth century’s profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel.

Award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky render this elusive and wildly innovative novel with an energy, suppleness, and range of voice that do full justice to the genius of its creator.
