Crime and Punishment
Fyodor DostoevskyTranslated by Constance Garnett
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.

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. In the 38 chapters of the novel, Jane outlines, starting from her childhood, five epochs of her life, describing in perfect prose the development of her morals, faith, and character leading up to her marriage.
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.
White Nights & Notes from Underground - Fyodor Dostoevsky
12.89 USD
This is a compilation of what are two of the perhaps greatest and most well-known short stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky, exploring views of life in 19th century Petersburg. In his own words in the author’s note to Notes from Underground:
“I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past. He is one of the representatives of a generation still living.”
