Crime & Punishment

Not an easy but an incredibly rewarding one. This is far less about the crime itself and far more about guilt, morality, and the human conscience. It includes morally complex characters like Raskolnikov, Svidrigailov, Sonya, etc. Consider this a very slow read for most part and a lot of yapping.

100 pages or crime rest is punishment 😭

Wont write a thing about the story, I'm sure you guys know enough if you've decided or are pondering about reading this. The translation is good, although a little confusing at times with names, and doesn't explain that Sonya, Sonechka, and Sofia are basically the name person, just different ways of using the same name. But so far I'm happy with the translation. Now, the book, this is a replaced version, the first one was damaged, the packaging was effortless beyond explanation, just a paper bag and the book put inside it, and nothing else to protect the structure of the book. First, they didn't deliver the book, then they delivered a terrible version of the book that was used or had been carelessly handled for god knows how many months. Upon replacement too, the packaging was the same but somehow this book is not as damaged as the one prior to this. Binding and spine is great, unlike the last book, cover is okayish, not damaged, there's a small scratch or something on the spine but it doesn't bother me. The colour is fading away from one side of the spine, and my initial thought was to let this go too but I really wanted to read this and the book is alright, and the printing is great with no signs of prior use or bad handling, so all good.

Quality is good

Very good quality

It's beautiful. Not writing an actual book review but the delivery was fast and without any damage.

The book is good. I expected a little better front page quality. It's okay for this price. The packaging is very bad.

Condition of the copy is okay but the quality of paper doesn't look so good. The paper is already kinda yellow at this point.

Physical quality it came in quite bad.

Love it!

Classical Russian literature of the old school.
