This Wordsworth Classics edition offers an accessible yet profound reading experience, perfect for both seasoned readers and newcomers alike. ## Description 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. Review: WORDSWORTH CLASSICS COPY - There’s some wear to the book in these photos, but that’s because I’ve been using it. The condition of the book was in great condition when it arrived, I just forgot to take pictures of it straight out of the box. The chapters are also well formatted, and the text size is decent for those that don’t mind a smaller font. I’ve found the translation to be good and I can easily follow the story. There are footnotes in the back of the book that are extremely helpful and explain certain phrases or references for those that are not familiar with the Russian language or customs. A list of all the characters and their relationships to each other are included at the beginning of the book as well. I’ve found the list to be really helpful because there are many characters that come up so it can be easy to mix up names. Overall, I think this edition is an excellent one for those who are just getting into Russian literature, like myself. I’ve enjoyed Dostoevsky’s story so far and I’m excited to see how the rest unfolds. I highly recommend this edition!

I'm very glad it was required reading when I was in college. Although it is complicated by many sub-plots, it was well worth my time. It is not something you read to be entertained, but to learn about life and its' difficulties. The books' basic premise - "'do the ends justify the means, or do immoral means corrupt the ends" is still valid in my opinion. It also shows how true Christian love has the power to overcome evil even when you live in abject poverty. Children younger than high school seniors should not read it, the murder description is likely to be too shocking. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crime and Punishment (Wordsworth Classics) - The Idiot (Wordsworth Classics) - Karamazov Brothers (Wordsworth Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/142331493-crime-and-punishment-wordsworth-classics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/142331493-crime-and-punishment-wordsworth-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
