About the Author
Born in Moscow, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) was a Russian novelist, short-story writer, translator, essayist, journalist, and philosopher, regarded today as one of the most significant writers of the Golden Age of Russian Literature.
Raised with an appreciation for books, Dostoyevsky developed a desire to write at an early age. His first novel, Poor Folk, gained him entry into literary circles, but his interest in the banned books of tsarist Russia landed the young author in a Siberian prison camp for four years. It helped to instill in Dostoyevsky themes of desperation, suicide, poverty, manipulation, crime, and morality that would inform his novels.

About the author

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (/?d?st??j?fski, ?d?s-/; Russian: Фёдор Миха?йлович Достое?вский; IPA: [?f??d?r m???xajl?v??t? d?st??j?fsk??j]; 11 November 1821 – 9 February 1881), sometimes transliterated Dostoevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. Many of his works are marked by a preoccupation with Christianity, explored through the prism of the individual confronted with life's hardships and beauty.
He began writing in his 20s, and his first novel, Poor Folk, was published in 1846 when he was 25. His major works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His output consists of 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short novels and numerous other works. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.
Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoyevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and through books by Russian and foreign authors. His mother died in 1837, when he was 15, and around the same time he left school to enter the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute. After graduating, he worked as an engineer and briefly enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, translating books to earn extra money. In the mid-1840s he wrote his first novel, Poor Folk, which gained him entry into St. Petersburg's literary circles.
In the following years, Dostoyevsky worked as a journalist, publishing and editing several magazines of his own and later A Writer's Diary, a collection of his writings. He began to travel around western Europe and developed a gambling addiction, which led to financial hardship. For a time, he had to beg for money, but he eventually became one of the most widely read and highly regarded Russian writers. His books have been translated into more than 170 languages. Dostoyevsky influenced a multitude of writers and philosophers, from Anton Chekhov and Ernest Hemingway to Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2020Verified PurchaseThis book tends to find the people that need it. There are many, many ways to interpret this story. Personally, I learned that man has an inner need to pay for the crimes he's committed .No matter what you do, you cannot escape yourself. And the guilt doesn't chase you, it waits for you to come and take it on when you are ready.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2024Verified PurchaseOn the Kindle, the title and cover is Crime and Punishment but the contents of the book are The Brothers Karamazov. Was very confusing until I figured out what was going on.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 20, 2021Verified PurchaseOne of the best stories out there about the human condition . A must read for those who enjoy like good literature .
- Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2017Verified PurchaseA very interesting book about 19th Century Russian society. It is interesting when the murderer is the 'hero'. A lot of alcohol in the story, and the Russian names can be really distracting. If the reader perseveres, he/she will experienced a classic masterpiece of a story, one like no other.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 4, 2014Verified PurchaseClassic book, however, I read it in its original format and I am slightly disappointed with the quality of this particular translation. It is not the same; it leaves a slightly different impression
- Reviewed in Canada on February 29, 2020Verified PurchaseThis book's pacing is a little slow, but it brings up a important fact about mankind which will make you stop and think. I recommend it as a must read to anyone with the ability and time to read it.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 22, 2017Verified PurchaseMy teenage self would have rated this 5 stars. I have to re-read it to see.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2019Verified PurchaseWho writes like this anymore? It happens sometimes? If your feeling desperate and crazy, this one could move you profoundly... and bring ye closer to greater light and knowledge... wisdom. Thanksgiving to God for this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A master piece
Verified PurchaseI’m still a new to reading novels, so my opinion may change in the future, but I have say that for one of my first novels to read I feel like I’ve read a master piece!
How the characters in the novel are written, makes them feel real and connectable to.
The description of the characters, their personalities and the places where events happened is very likable as well.
The way I can hear the characters’ thoughts made me sometime feel like I was the person living and thinking that way, as if I were them! onetime I even felt almost going crazy as one of the characters was going crazy!
It is in the psychological genre and it does a great job at it, but I would advise to stay away from it if you’re not fond of that genre.
As a last note, as a non English native speaker the novel was a little hard to read(I needed to use the translator a couple of times).
TLDR;
I felt like I read a master piece.
It was enjoyable, makes you feel like you are the character him/her self, the way the characters and their thoughts are presented is fantastic and makes them connectable to and makes the reader able to understand them.
I liked it a lot, I definitely recommend it to anyone into the psychological genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars ラズミーヒン最推しで!
Verified Purchase中学生の时に翻訳版を読んでいます。当时は主人公の「1つの罪は100の善行によって偿われる」という考えに唸りました。主人公を応援する心情で読んだものでしたが、今再び読んでみて主人公の傲慢さ、というかただの精神病じゃないかと……。主人公には嫌悪を感じました。大体、绵密に计画し信念のもとに行っているはずなのに肝心のお金はとってこれず、思い切り体调まで崩して情绪すら不安定で。実行前の雄々しさはどこに?まあ主人公がめちゃくちゃな反面、ラズミーヒンの献身が目を引きヒーローとして见守れたのは良かったです。
