Housed in a die-cut embossed slipcase, it offers a visually immersive experience, though it uses the original Constance Garnett translation and a notably small font size, making it more of an art object than a casual read. ## Description Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1866 novel Crime and Punishment, arguably the first modern exploration of psychological realism, is not only a gem of Russian literature but an internationally renowned classic. Now this masterpiece has been vividly transformed by the powerful illustrations of renowned graphic artist Dave McKean, whose multimedia paintings are shrouded with the specters and shadows of Raskolnikov’s fever dreams. Featuring over one hundred full-page paintings, spot illustrations and illuminated letters, and housed in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed as a work of art in its own right. Featuring an introduction by Lonny Harrison. 9x12", 346 pages. Review: Outdated translation & itsy bitty font - This edition has fantastic art. Dave McKean’s work is outstanding. The production is also good quality, with sewn bindings are good quality paper. But, it is NOT a book to read for two reasons. First, the translation is Constance Garnett, who was the original translator of the Russian greats and is now considered outdated and inaccurate. Made everything sound like Dickens. There are many better translations these days that most people prefer to this one. But, they weren’t out of copyright. Second, and more importantly, the font is too small. There is no way to comfortably read the book. Tiny. Ridiculously tiny. I suspect the good folk at Beehive were thinking of this is an art book and not a reading copy. But, there is no reason it couldn’t be both. Review: Poor Quality Book - . I was extremely excited to receive this book. When I opened the package, comma it was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have been more happy. The issue came about when I opened the book to read it. The 1st thing that caught my attention is the size size 6 or 7 font that they have decided to print this book in. I'm only 35 years old and I could barely read it. The next issue is the material that the cover is made out of. It's like a Brown bag paper type big paper type of book cover. Which on the hard flaps of the book are fine but when it's on the spine it bends and cracks just from gently opening it. So now the beautiful book has a messed up spine with veins and distress marks and crumple marks and I've only opened it 3 times very gently on a table flat. The more I keep opening it I can tell that the spine will eventually tear and and not connect to the book anymore. This was devastating for me because the artwork is superb and I was so excited to have such a beautiful book on my shelf ## Features - CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: An Illuminated Edition - Brand: Beehive Books - Product Type: ABIS_BOOK ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 813,389 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7,982 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 10,237 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 14,842 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 15 Reviews | ## Images ![CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: An Illuminated Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TvqvzlABL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Outdated translation & itsy bitty font *by C***C on 29 June 2024* This edition has fantastic art.
