Crime And Punishment

Dostoesky's drama of sin, guilt and redemption transmutes the sordid story of an old woman's murder by a desperate student into the nineteenth century's profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel. Grim in theme and setting, the book nevertheless seduces by its combination of superbly drawn characters, narrative brilliance and manic comedy.

Drama lui Dostoesky a pacatului, vinovatiei si mantuirii transmuta povestea sordida a uciderii unei batrane de catre un student disperat in cel mai profund si mai convingator roman filozofic al secolului al XIX-lea. Sumbru ca tema si decor, cartea seduce totusi prin combinatia sa de personaje superb desenate, stralucirea narativa si comedia maniacala.
