Deep Reads: Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky (Session #1)

Over a period of three months, we are going to read Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Read Parts I and II for the first meeting (about 200 pages).

(This event is cross posted in the Deep Reads Meetup)

After looking at several reviews, I am going to be using the Oliver Ready translation (2014 Penguin) which can be found here: https://amzn.to/2XMUTuz

(If you click on that link, and then buy ANY of the translations, it will contribute a few pennies to help support the costs of the meetup)

Here is a review of the Ready translation: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/this-new-translation-of-crime-and-punishment-is-a-masterpiece)

Others I considered were:

• the classic by Constance Garnett (1914 Heinemann)
• Pevear and Volokhonsky (1992 Knopf) (reviewed here: https://www.nytimes.com/1992/04/26/books/raskolnikov-says-the-darndest-things.html).
• Nicolas Pasternak Slater (2017 Oxford) by a nephew of the Nobel Winner Boris Pasternak.
