The talented Alex Jennings creates an atmosphere of gripping psychological tension and brings a variety of characters to life in this new audio edition of a crime classic. When the student Raskolnikov puts his philosophical theory to the ultimate test...(more) of murder, a tragic tale of suffering and redemption unfolds in the dismal setting of the slums of czarist, prerevolutionary St. Petersburg. While Jennings's adept repertoire of British accents works to demonstrate the varying classes of characters, it occasionally distracts the listener from the Russian setting. However, Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life. (Running time: 315 minutes; 4 cassettes)(less)
This is an amazing book that takes you deep into the psyche of one mans self examination of his own actions. As if he where one on the outside, studying himself. And you see the authors stand for feminist right. In the day and age this book was written, and also in the novel, the “female problem’ as quoted in the book, is discovered. But we see a beautiful strong female, play the saving role of this troubled man. She’s sacrificing and religious and in her own way Dostoevsky portrayal of a modern day Christ.
