I recieved book fresh and tighly packed. Every page was clearly visible and smells new. I have read Dostoevsky for the first time and undoubtedly it's one of the best book I have read. A masterpiece, tormenting, exciting, horrifying, flawless, cultivates are not even enough to describe. I also watched a J-theater adapted on crime and punishment after reading which wholely makes me dive into and livin characters. So If you love reading why haven't you read it yet? Read more
