Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (Monarch Notes)
One of the greatest books I've ever read.
Oh yes, what a humdinger!
I didnt read this particular edition, but the one I read is really hard to find now so I will talk about the book itself, one of the greatest novels ever written... This is for the good readers, not for those who wants a character that simply embodies their internal fantasies, not those who want to feel related with it... but for those who wants to read a human being, a real being with all the good and bad things a human can have, simply beautiful it takes you deep inside the mind of Rodia and
Excellent novel. A classic of the highest order. The story is both interesting and unique. Dostoyevsky also lends an intriguing look into 19th century Russia. I read this book only once, over 10 years ago and I can still recall the thoughts and emotions I experienced when I read it. A memorable story.
about 30% done - also on the treadmill with speach to text on he kindle. Pretty good- can't wait to read the ending

Narration Supposing Books Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (Monarch Notes)
I read this while a teenage ballet dancer, trying to figure out what the hell I wanted to be when I grew up (Answer: Not a ballet dancer). The main character's grapplings with right & wrong, good & evil, led me to a.) think a little harder about what I did or did not owe to the world, & b.) realize there are people out there with real problems. I started reading Dostoevsky because I was dancing a lot of Russian ballets at the time; I thought it might help me understand the culture better. It did — oh, how it did — but I got way more out of it than I bargained for. It was an incredibly dense read, which required of me a slower, more thoughtful approach to reading (I was never much of a skimmer to begin with, but this book was hella demanding). It changed the way I read. And it changed the way I thought. And it changed me. Thank you, Fyodor. [NB: For some reason, when I first added this book to Goodreads, I gave it three stars. It seems petty & mean to rank it, at all, but if I'm going to rank a book that changed me this much, five stars it is.]Describe Books In Favor Of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (Monarch Notes)

I've been reading this book on and off for about twenty years and I've never finished it.I love the idea of it and the atmosphere generated but I find that what I can only describe as what's "lost in translation" and just as infuriatingly "added in translation" really skews the playing field for me.I've only got as far as the part where Raskolnikov is awakened from his fever by,I think,his friend Kubizek.I really must give it a go again now that I'm a fully fledged adult.Incidentally,has anyoneOne of the greatest books I've ever read.
