Description
About the Book : This is an exquisite hardbound edition of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s masterpiece—Crime and Punishment. It first appeared in instalments in Russian Messenger in 1866. By this time, Dostoevsky had been orphaned, imprisoned, almost died, lost his wife and his brother. He was also neck-deep in debt. From such a man came the story of the psychological impact of committing a crime. In this book, Raskolnikov murders an old, evil pawnbroker. Good riddance, according to him, since the woman was an oppressor of the weak, and this act allowed him to solve his own financial problems. Yet, it is a crime, and the guilt begins gnaw at him inside, even though he considers himself to be an ‘extraordinary person’ whose actions are above the law. This edition, with gilded edges and beautiful endpapers, is perfect for gifting and will prove to be a valuable addition to any library.

This seller has surpassed any expectations I could’ve had. The delivery was just over £4 from India and I was quoted delivery between 4-17 December. The item was dispatched next day on a Monday and arrived 8 days early wrapped in plastic, wrapped in bubble wrap and then a box neatly built around the book. The book is pristine with no damage from travel. I even messaged the seller about a week before the item was delivered and they responded within a couple of hours. Highly recommend.

Book arrived today and it was in good condition. It was wrapped very securely and was protected from damage considering how far it traveled. The only thing I didn’t like was that the seller is “slightly deceptive “ about where his store is located. I thought I was buying from a store in the USA. I make a point of not buying from overseas sellers because of an unpleasant experience that I had in the past. That said, I was surprised that it came as quick as it did.

I had a wonderful experience buying from this seller! They quickly replied to my messages, answering questions that I had on the books. The item description was exactly what I received. The seller also packaged the book set with bubble wrap to make sure there was no damage during shipment. The shipping was quick and I received the item 4 days early! 10/10 experience with this seller!
