[First Edition] Prestupléniye i nakazániye (Crime and...

First Appearance of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov DOSTOYEVSKY (Dostoevsky), Fyodor. Prestupléniye i nakazániye (Crime and Punishment in Russkiy Vestnik [The Russian Messenger]), Petersburg, January 1866. Front wrapper half title + title page + [5] - 447 + [1] = advertisements + rear wrapper. Octavo. First Printing. A significant literary milestone—the first appearance of the very first installment (out of eight) of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment in The Russian Messenger. Dostoevsky's masterpiece was originally published as an 8-part serial in The Russian Messenger in 1866. The following year, the separate installments were collected together and published as a complete novel adding the epilogue. This volume is the January 1866 issue, and contains all of what today is considered part one, appearing on pages 35 - 120. Any biography of Dostoevsky will recount his active participation in "Petrashevsky Fridays." Members of the Russian intelligentsia formed the Petrashevsky Circle where they met to discuss utopian socialism and the ideas of Feuerbach and Hegel. At first, Dostoevsky seemed to generally agree with many of the radical principles, ideas that sought progress and change, solutions to the problems of suffering, poverty, disease, and marginalization in pursuit of a more just and equal Russia; however, after his exile in Siberia and mock execution in 1849, Dostoevsky started to see a hollow elitism within the radical movements and how their efforts did little to really improve the lives of the poor. As a result, he perceived an antinomy between a material salvation promised by the reform-minded intelligentsia and a spiritual salvation possible within the hearts of the common Russians. He distanced himself from many of the European ideas that informed their radicalism as he returned to his Russian roots, albeit now informed by many of those ideas he had studied. Much of the story of Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment is Dostoevsky's attempt to expose what he viewed as a shallowness of those ideas as he sought a return to the uniquely Russian (and Christian) resolution to the question of suffering and the human condition. CONDITION: Very Good+ in original quarter leather. Gilt lettering to spine. Edgewear and chipping along edges of boards. Some spotting to few pages, but generally bright and clean internally. Original pale wrappers bound in with withdrawn ex-libri stamps to wrapper. Original silk bookmark loosely inserted, although detached. An exceedingly scarce copy.
