SAVE THE STORY : THE STORY OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT - Pushkin

You should go to a street corner and get down on your knees and tell the whole world: ?I have sinned.? Raskolnikov is a poor student living in St Petersburg. Desperate to escape his poverty, he murders his pawnbroker and her sister, and flees with a few watches and bits of jewellery. Although at first nobody suspects him, his own conscience plagues him incessantly ? and it isn't long before a highly intelligent police detective by the name of Petrovich begins to have his doubts about Raskolnikov's innocence, and is determined to make him confess. Dave Eggers says, of the series: ?I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it. Ever since Alessandro conceived this idea I thought it was brilliant. The editions that they?ve complied have been lushly illustrated and elegantly designed.?
