Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Dostoevsky's first masterpiece...The narrative's feverish, compelling tone follows the twists and turns of Raskolnikov's emotions and elaborates his struggle with his conscience...A moving depiction of the recovery of a man's diseased spirit."

-- "Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature"

"Dostoyevsky's penetrating novel...is a stunning psychological portrait, a thriller, and a profound meditation on guilt and retribution."

-- "Amazon.com, editorial review"

"Anthony Heald shows remarkable versatility in this production...He delivers the dialogue as a stage actor would, with exaggerated emotion and even with laughter, coughing, stammering, and other adornments indicated in the text...Heald's pacing and rich characterizations keep the story moving."

-- "AudioFile"

Reseña del editor:

One of the greatest works of fiction ever written, Crime and Punishment is at once an intense psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, and a fascinating detective thriller instilled with philosophical, religious, and social commentary.

Dostoevsky studies the psychological impact upon a desperate and impoverished student when he murders a despicable pawnbroker, transgressing moral law to ultimately "benefit humanity." After killing the old woman, haunted by guilt and terror, the young man must decide whether to assuage his conscience by confessing or attempt to get away with the perfect crime.

Crime and Punishment takes the listener on a journey into the darkest recesses of the criminal and depraved mind and exposes the soul of a man possessed by both good and evil who cannot escape his own conscience.
