An exciting, fresh and accessible adaptation of Dostoyevskys masterful novel.Starving, destitute student Raskolnikov is surrounded by the harsh injustices of the world: the grime of poverty and prostitution, unscrupulous pawnbrokers chasing debts, and a sister about to marry someone she doesnt love to keep her family alive. His guilt is unbearable. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer any chance of redemption.As Raskolnikov enters a dangerous cat and mouse game with the examining magistrate, a psychological thriller unfolds that probes how far humanity might go when driven by disillusionment and whether any crime can be justified by a higher purpose.Chris Hannans adaptation of Crime and Punishment was first performed at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in 2013, followed by a UK tour.

As ideological ferment grips Russia, a small group of revolutionaries, led by Pyotr Verkhovensky and inspired by Nikolai Stavrogin, plan to spread destruction and anarchy throughout the country. Morally bankrupt, they are prepared to use whatever means necessary to achieve their goal, including murder and incitement to suicide. But when they are forced to test the limits of their doctrine and kill one of their own to secure the secrecy of their mission, the ragtag group breaks up in mutual recrimination.Devils is at once a compelling political statement and a study of atheism and its calamitous effect on a country that is teetering on the edge of an abyss. Seen as Dostoevsky's most powerful indictment of man's propensity to violence, this darkly humorous work, shot through with grotesque comedy, is presented here in Roger Cockrell's masterful new translation

TRANSLATED BY RICHARD PEVEAR AND LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY. Consumed by the idea of his own special destiny, immured in poverty and deprivation, Rashkolnikov is drawn to commit a terrible crime. In the aftermath, Rashkolnikov is dogged by madness, guilt and a calculating detective, and a feverish cat-and-mouse game unfolds. The only hope for redemption, if Rashkolnikov can but recognise it, lies in the virtuous and faithful Sonya. The Vintage Classic Russians Series: Published for the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, these are must-have, beautifully designed editions of six epic masterpieces that have survived controversy, censorship and suppression to influence decades of thought and artistic expression.

El joven Raskólnikov vive en la miseria, pero se siente un espíritu superior y se decide a comprobar si está por encima del bien y del mal.

Pese a los cuidados de su amigo Razumijin y de Zosimov y pese a la llegada de su madre y de su hermana, la opresion de Raskolnikov no encuentra alivio ni aun ayudando a la desgraciada Sonia; hasta que, tras entregarse a la policia y ser conducido a Siberia, su pensamiento atisba la verdad.

Este box reúne dois grandes romances de Fiódor Dostoiévski:Memórias da Casa dos Mortos, romance autobiográfico inspirado no período em que Dostoiésvki passou na prisão de Omsk, narra a rotina de Alie

En abril de 1849 Fiódor Dostoievski, con otros veintisiete jóvenes, era detenido y acusado de "crímenes contra la seguridad del Estado"; unos meses después, se le sometía a un simulacro de ejecución, y finalmente a una condena de ocho años de trabajos forzados en Siberia. En 1862 apareceria en forma de libro Memorias de la casa muerta, el recuento autobiografico de sus experiencias en presidio, presentado, bajo una ficticia primera persona, la del "difunto" Alexander Petrovich Gorianchikov. Este hombre, noble e instruido, que jamas ha trabajado, se encuentra de pronto privado de libertad, obligado a los esfuerzos mas penosos, rapado y encadenado, en compañia de montañeses, bandoleros, asesinos, presos politicos y mendigos.Incluso los condenados a pena perpetua soñaban con algo casi imposible. Fiodor M. Dostoievski

Dosteovskys immediate impulse for embarking on A Writers Diary in 1873 was a desire to come into closer contact with his readers. Published in monthly instalments, it became a unique journalistic enterprise. Far more popular than his novels ever were, the Diary was Dostoevskys favourite work. Brilliantly introduced by Rosamund Bartlett, the Diary stands revealed as the work of a writer-activist and blogger avant la lettre.
