Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
22.67 USD
The novel follows a desperate former law student, Raskolnikov, stricken by poverty and taken by the idea of the Great Man who discards all traditional morality. Raskolnikov commits a murder hoping to gain enough money from the murder to lift him out of poverty, but realises that he is not the great man he thought himself to be, and that he cannot escape his conscience. The remaining chapters then follow his punishment and end with his hope for redemption.
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë
21.4 USD
This 19th century gothic bildungsroman is an autobiography of a fictional protagonist, Jane Eyre.

This copy includes the original illustrations from F.H Townsend, and footnotes to translate the French and German phrases — which are not translated in the original copies as the people of Charlotte Brontë’s time and place were expected to be fluent in these languages.
