Crimen y castigo
Crimen y castigo | Fiodor Dostoyevski
Esta novela, una de las ms grandes e imperecederas de la literatura universal, contiene dos de los temas caractersticos de Dostoyevski: la relacin entre la culpa y el castigo y la idea de la fuerza redentora del sufrimiento humano, planteando con todo vigor el conflicto entre el Bien y el Mal, ese dualismo tico que es una constante en la obra del autor. Bajo el armazn naturalista de una novela de tesis, subyace una alegora metafsica y moral. Observa Dostoyevski que el castigo no intimida al criminal, "pues ste de por s pide ya moralmente un castigo". Entre la obra ingente del novelista ruso, es este libro, sin duda, el de mayor plenitud formal.

I'm going in.
I aim to hopefully read at least a chapter per day. Actually started it last night, but only got through the Foreword and Translator's Note, then fell asleep. Hope that's not a sign 😅

I'm reading the Pevear & Volokhonsky translation. What's everyone else going with?

sarahbarnes I loved this when I read it. I would say it does pick up. 😂 4w
CogsOfEncouragement I went back and forth with ebook and audiobook which worked well for me to keep reading while doing dishes, driving, etc. I really enjoyed this one. So much so I read The Idiot not too long after. 4w
Leniverse @LeeRHarry @sarahbarnes @CogsOfEncouragement Now that I'm not half asleep I'm enjoying it 😂 It sets the tone really well already on the first page. I think it'll read faster than I expected. 4w

OK guys.... you may begin!!!!!!!!

But if you've got a lot on, don't worry. We are going at a leisurely pace.

After all, when we've finished #CAPbuddyread it's on to Ulysses.

Use the hashtag to update us on how you're doing.

THERE IS NO RUSH. And feel free to start at a later date.

Caroline2 I do love that cover!!! 😻 1mo

Hello fellow glutens for punishment!

The plan was to start C&P at a leisurely pace starting 1st October. How does everyone feel about this?

1) Yes, let's start tomorrow!
2) Delay start 1 month to November
3) Let's start January instead

The translation I have is the Oliver Ready version (cover above).

Librarybelle I‘m ready to start tomorrow! 1mo
Jess I have my copy and am ready whenever everyone else is. 1mo

Leniverse As long as I don't have to finish it in October, I can start now 😂 November might be better though. 1mo
camscampbell I have a slow read of this going at a chapter a week. It‘s a nice pace. 1mo
Caroline2 Nov would be better for me too but happy to start now. I have the Constance Garnett translation. 👍 1mo
RaeLovesToRead @aa_guer2021 @Sparklemn I will add you both to the tag list!!!! 😊 1mo
RaeLovesToRead @camscampbell That'll probably be about my pace. It took me about 18 months to read War and Peace! 😄 1mo
camscampbell @RaeLovesToRead I love to hear that you‘ve read War and Peace! I just passed a rather sad scene in that book not two minutes ago. I‘m reading it a chapter a day, which makes it a one-year read. I may start it again on 1 Jan and read a different translation alongside the Russian. The chapters are short and it‘s become a ritual this year that I‘d like to continue. 1mo
RaeLovesToRead @camscampbell I also read the Anthony Briggs translation. I thought it was pretty good. The whole novel is an experience. The structure is bizarre and not at all beginning, middle, end, but it doesn't matter because the stories come and go and evolve! 1mo
AnishaInkspill I have this ed, I might not be able to join this one 3w
RaeLovesToRead @AInkspill Let me know if you want adding to the tag list! It's very leisurely. I haven't started yet. 3w

Don't think I've forgotten!

So I've been thinking Crime & Punishment should be the next buddy read #CAPbuddyread #torturedpoetsbookclub

Have had a request to start in October... what does everyone think? It'll be a long term thing. Read at your own pace. And I would suggest a WhatsApp group so we can discuss (or use hashtag for those who don't want in.)

Thoughts?

Tagging interested folks in the comments!

Librarybelle If October is a good time to start, maybe starting October 1st? I like the Tortured Poets Book Club name! 😂 2mo
RaeLovesToRead @Librarybelle Yes, would be start of Oct, and then just running at own pace. Tortured Poets... for those who love pain and hardship in their reading life, but also, probably, Taylor Swift 🤣🤣 2mo

Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead 😂 I fit with the group name more for the hardship and pain of reading rather than the music, I‘m afraid to say, but there are a couple of her songs that are definitely catchy. It‘s a perfect name for the chunkster reads! 2mo
Deblovestoread A classic I‘ve intended to read so count me in. Not a Swiftie but love the name. 2mo
Jess I think I‘m in too. Always wanted to read this one. 2mo
Caroline2 Count me in!! 🙋‍♀️ 2mo
RaeLovesToRead @Librarybelle @Deblovestoread @jess @Caroline2 Woo! I will post before the challenge. If you want to be added to a WhatsApp group when we start email me your mob number to raelouisewatts@gmail.com 💕 It's OK if you'd rather just use the hashtag! 2mo
Leniverse I'm so far from being a Swiftie that I don't even understand the reference. To me Tortured Poets Book Club sounds like something from a Brat pack movie 😂 Andrew McCarthy and Judd Nelson would be the inaugural members. Anyway, it's a very suitable name for reading Russian Lit. 2mo
Larkken Count me in too! 2mo
BarbaraJean I'm in! Sorry for the delayed response! How does “at your own pace“ work--will there be a target end date? 2mo
AnishaInkspill the name caught my eye, I\'m in, I may not be able to join in for C&P, I\'m in the midst of Plato, ha ha, or trying 3w

18-21 Oct 23 (audiobook)
Another book I read as a uni student, at which time, I recall, I wanted Raskolnikov to get away with his crime and was frustrated by his descent into madness and paranoia. I felt differently upon listening to it thirty years later and had little sympathy for Raskolnikov.
Dostoevsky is, however, a master and his story remains compelling with many interesting characters and philosophies, particularly regarding the great man.

I finally got to this one. Dostoyevsky offers some interesting psychological portraits here; his exploration of “the great man” theory of history (& its shedding of conventional morality) through impoverished, troubled Raskolnikov was intriguing. Other characters were fascinating too, as were questions of redemption & the ongoing nature of his punishment. I found the epilogue to be an abject failure, unworthy of the rest of the book.

I started this book very enthusiastically, and then it got slow. Extremely slow. However, as I got past the first 6-7 chapters, I was hooked. After the first part, the book was still ridiculously slow, but what got me were the thoughts.

Entering Raskolinkov‘s mind was like entering a dark abandoned cellar with corridors leading to deep dark parts. This darkness led to very insightful and disturbing thoughts, which I bloody loved.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Reyzl I also found it slow and dark. I know it is a masterpiece and it contains a lot of brilliant quotes but it‘s not one of the books that I have particularly enjoyed🤷🏼‍♀️ I love Dostoyevsky‘s “White Nights”. 2y

We‘re always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that‘s all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can‘t help feeling that that‘s what it is.

Whew, I made it. It was interesting for a while but then it just dragged. It almost seemed operatic to me in its melodrama and dialogue. I have enjoyed the philosophical musings in other Russian novels but the musings in this one did not keep my interest; I ended up skimming them.

Pickpick

A necessarily simplified version of Dostoevsky's classic, this was a good adaptation within the confines of a graphic novel.
Mairowitz and Korkos set the action in modern Russia to draw parallels between the corruption and inequality of Tzarist Russia and Putin's Russia. Worth an hour of most people's time, I think.

What a pleasure to dive in this 19th century classic! I like all the social commentaries sprinkled in 19th century works (it's important to remember they weren't written for the hoi polloi, but for intellectuals to be later discussed in literary salons).
In this particular book, I like the fantasy-like atmosphere of not really knowing what belongs to the dream and what belongs to reality.
First Russian classic, but it won't be my last.

IuliaC Great review! 2y
Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @IuliaC Thanks! I love essays and philosophical discussions, so when I'm in the mood, I love diving into a 18th or 19th century book. They are often representative of the ideas circulating at the time. 2y
