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."

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Save the Story series: "Enticing, generously sized and dashingly illustrated ... brilliantly told by top-flight novelists, they are fresh, idiosyncratic and winning" - Guardian; "This handsomely illustrated series... offers younger readers vivid, accessible first encounters with some literary heavyweights" Metro Magnificent... A beautifully produced and illustrated introduction to the cerebral works of Dostoyevsky... should be on every child's bookshelf The Bay A faithful retelling... very considerate... I'm going to applaud the publisher for helping young British readers learn about some of the most extraordinary gems of foreign literature and making them so accessible School Library Association
