Description
Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 novel Crime and Punishment, arguably the first modern exploration of psychological realism, is not only a gem of Russian literature but an internationally renowned classic. Now this masterpiece has been vividly transformed by the powerful illustrations of renowned graphic artist Dave McKean, whose multimedia paintings are shrouded with the specters and shadows of Raskolnikov's fever dreams.
It features over one hundred full-page paintings, spot illustrations and illuminated letters. Housed in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed as a work of art in its own right.

About the Author
FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881) was a Russian novelist, essayist, and short story writer. Born in Moscow in 1821, he attended the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute and began his career as an engineer, but resigned after the success of his first novel, Poor Folk. He went on to write short stories and serialized novels throughout the 1840s, but in 1849 was arrested on the orders of Tsar Nicholas I due to his association with utopian Socialists. After narrowly escaping execution, he served four years with hard labor in a Siberian prison camp, and the following six years in compulsory military service. Dostoevsky wrote Crime and Punishment in 1866 with the help of stenographer Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina, whom he married soon afterwards; the couple had four children together, two of whom died young. After Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky went on to write two more of his most well-received novels, The Idiot and Demons. His marriage to Anna finally helped him resolve his longtime gambling addiction, but his health gradually declined and his epileptic seizures worsened. Dostoevsky died on February 9th, 1881, four months after the publication of The Brothers Karamazov, his longest novel and arguably his magnum opus. Today Dostoevsky's works are considered not only among the finest in Russian literature but as worldwide classics.

He has written and illustrated Cages (Harvey, Pantera, Ignatz and Alph Art awards), two Pictures That Tick volumes of short stories (V+A Book of the Year), the erotic novel Celluloid, and Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash, a commission by the 14-18 Now Foundation and the Imperial War Museum.
