Deep Reads: Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky (Session #2)

Over a period of three months, we are going to read Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Read Parts III and IV for this month. (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.
