“Anthony Heald grippingly portrays Raskolnikov’s turbulent struggle of transgression and redemption.”

Audible.com (audio review)

Finalist for the Audie Award for Best Narration in Literary Fiction

An Audible Pick of the Best Audio Version of a Classic

One of the greatest works of fiction ever written, Crime and Punishment is at once an intense psychological study, a terrifying murder mystery, and a fascinating detective thriller instilled with philosophical, religious, and social commentary.

Dostoevsky studies the psychological impact upon a desperate and impoverished student when he murders a despicable pawnbroker, transgressing moral law to ultimately “benefit humanity.” After killing the old woman, haunted by guilt and terror, the young man must decide whether to assuage his conscience by confessing or attempt to get away with the perfect crime.

Crime and Punishment takes the listener on a journey into the darkest recesses of the criminal and depraved mind and exposes the soul of a man possessed by both good and evil who cannot escape his own conscience.

    Simply Superb

    I don’t need to convince you that Crime and Punishment is a Great Book. All you need to know is that this is a Great Recording of a Great Book. I admit that, when Downpour offered it as their free selection for January, I was delighted until I saw the reader was Anthony Heald. His performance of Red Badge of Courage had struck me as too self-consciously folksy. But this performance is superb. He carries the action forward without giving short shrift to details. And since most of that action takes place in Rodion Raskolnikov’s troubled head, the book demands a sensitive, even perceptive reading. This Heald supplies to the full. After the first few minutes I was delighted all over again. Many thanks to Downpour for offering this kind of literature—and this level of performance—for free.

    Fantastic reading!

    I can't say enough about Anthony Heald's reading of this book He more or less acted out the entire novel. It was immensely satisfying.
