Complete and unabridged, with 100 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Lovis Corinth and Ivan Shishkin. A provincial Russian town receives a group of young radicals, and within a season there are arson, scandal and a body in the park. Dostoevsky built the novel on a real murder — a student killed by his own revolutionary cell — and wrote it as a warning that has been read as a prophecy ever since. The chapter his publisher refused to print was restored only in the twentieth century. A hundred plates of harbours, rocks and stairwells by Caspar David Friedrich and Ilya Repin run from 1811 to 1926, matching the novel's mood of restless, unsettled Russia.
