Crime and Punishment

About Michael Katz’s translation.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

“Mesmerizingly good – the best, truest translation of Dostoevsky's masterpiece into English. It's a magnificent, almost terrifying achievement of translation, one that makes its predecessors, however worthy, seem safe and polite.”

– STEVE DONAGHUE, Open Letters Monthly
