"Crime and Punishment" has been translated countless times into our language, once or twice from Russian and several times from... Greek. This work, despite the unimaginable development in all fields of Spirit and Art, continues to remain a classic and unsurpassed model of the psychological novel. Translated here, directly from the Russian text and by Aris Alexandrou, it conveys all the atmosphere and warmth of the original. All the heroes of the work: the demonic Raskolnikov, the tragic Marmeladov, the martyr Sonia, the tormented Pulcheria Alexandrovna, the satanic Porfiry Petrovich, the wonderful Dunya Romanovna, the lustful Svidrigailov, all eternal human types, stand before us, whether frantic, sad, or sarcastic, and their presence never leaves us, no matter how many years pass since our first acquaintance with them.
