Crime and Punishment |
I admit it, I had never read this until last month; too scared. What a revelation. Slow to start and with an unlikeable main protagonist, nevertheless I was completely absorbed into the lives of Raskolnikov and his family, walking the streets of St Petersburg with them. The human dramas were gripping . This was the first occasion I discovered the translation mattered to me, preferring Constance Garnett to David MacDuff.
