"The best [translation of
Crime and Punishment] currently available.... An especially faithful re-creation ... with a coiled-spring kinetic energy.... Don't miss it." –
The Washington Post Book World "This fresh, new translation ... provides a more exact, idiomatic, and contemporary rendition of the novel that brings Fyodor Dostoevsky's tale achingly alive.... It succeeds beautifully." –
San Francisco Chronicle "Reaches as close to Dostoevsky' s Russian as is possible in English.... The original's force and frightening immediacy is captured.... The Pevear and Volokhonsky translation will become the standard English version." –
