You should go to a street corner and get down on your knees and tell the whole world: “I have sinned.”Raskolnikov is a poor student living in St Petersburg. Desperate to escape his poverty, he murders his pawnbroker and her sister, and flees with a few watches and bits of jewellery. Although at first nobody suspects him, his own conscience plagues him incessantly – and it isn’t long before a highly intelligent police detective by the name of Petrovich begins to have his doubts about Raskolnikov’s innocence, and is determined to make him confess.Dave Eggers says, of the series: “I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of it. Ever since Alessandro conceived this idea I thought it was brilliant. The editions that they’ve complied have been lushly illustrated and elegantly designed.”
