Blurb from the back of the book:
"How Raskolnikov, a former student, deluded, kind, handsome, mercilessly intellectual, comes half-dreaming with a borrowed hatchet to murder an old woman money-lender, is the central action of Crime and Punishment .
From its opening pages Dostoyevsky attahes us unreservedly to his hero, creating an intimacy that is clautrophobic, full of tension, and as haunting and relentless as a love affair. Begun as a novel concerned with the psychology of crime and the processes of guilt, it surpasses itself to take on the tragic force of myth."
