.. اينها ميتواند زمينه ى داستان جديدى باشد، اما داستان كنونى ما ديگر به پايان رسيده است .
!Damn you, Fyodor
منگم از جزئيات و شخصيت ها و مكالمه هاى عالى . قطعن بهترين نويسنده ى تمام دوران داستايوسكى ـه از نظر من ، بى هيچ شك و شبهه اى . تنها چيزى كه خسته م كرد اين بود كه مدام ميون خوندن بايد ذهن اين بشر رو تحسين ميكردم ..

Raskolnikov is a man that one day commits two violent and senseless murders.  He thinks that he is above the law and no one suspects that he could be the one who has done it, but as time goes on he is feeling the need to let others know of what he has done.

This classic was on my big poster of 100 books to read.  I've discovered that I actually enjoy the Russian novels around this time period.  I think that a big part of it has to do with the fact that I am reading translations of the books, so the language is a bit more current.  I read the Oliver Ready translation.  All of these books are too long for me and I'm going to assume that they were paid by the page during this time, haha.  This book was a bit more gruesome than I was expecting and there is little punishment in the novel.  Oh, it was also hard for me to keep track of the names of people and who was who.

Dit literaire werk heeft een immense invloed gehad op de moderne Europese literatuur en wanneer de roman vergeleken wordt met andere werken binnen dit tijdsframe, dan zal het gelijk opvallen hoe herkenbaar en goed uitgewerkt de karakters van Dostoyevsky zijn. Ieder personage voelt als iemand die je zo op straat tegen het lijf zou kunnen lopen, hoewel Raskolnikov, de hoofdpersoon, overdramatisch is voor iemand die zonder moeite zo'n ernstige misdaad begaat. Thema's zoals de absoluutheid van de tijd en het lot, komen niet alleen voor in de hoofdverhaallijn, maar ook in de verhalen die parallel lopen aan het lijden van Raskolnikov. Waardoor het werk overigens in zijn algemeenheid af en toe moeilijk te volgen was voor mij. Verder was de verouderde vertaling van Garnett bijzonder ongemakkelijk, houterig en te Brits. Welke Russische zuiplap zou een agent ooit een 'queer fish' noemen?
