Crime and Punishment

By David Zane Mairowitz and Fyodor Dostoevsky

"And, in the dark, a thought came to me that no one had ever had before me: I wanted to kill someone, just in order to dare." ? This graphic adaptation of Crime and Punishment masterfully illuminates Dostoevsky's psychological thriller. Acclaimed French artist Alain Korkos vividly brings to life the mental anguish and moral dilemmas that plague Raskolnikov, a poor St. Petersburg student who murders a miserly pawnbroker. In this classic of Russian literature, the hero, unable to quell his guilt and paranoia, falls from a self-styled "super human" to a tormented soul in search of redemption. Both a philosophical inquiry and searing social critique, this suspense-driven drama remains as widely popular today as ever. ?
