Synopsis

Crime and Punishment - Liftable Edition, Volume 3 of 4 by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, originally published 1941. A theory of moral exceptionalism collapses under the weight of an ordinary conscience.

This is a Liftable Edition: Clearview caps paper-plus-binding weight at 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) for every Liftable title, so it stays comfortable to hold and read for extended periods -- a physical accessibility standard most large-print publishers do not set at all.

For collection development: this is a large-print edition intended for low-vision and aging patrons, and for any reader who finds standard trade print tiring over a long sitting. It suits large-print and accessibility collections, adult and young-adult general collections where the text is a standard, and reading-room copies where a durable case binding matters. Each volume is held under 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of paper and binding, so it can be read at a table or in a lap without a stand. The text is unabridged and reproduced from a public-domain source without modernisation.

Algorithmic Quality Assurance: this edition was checked by 123 deterministic tests covering typography, pagination, colour, cover geometry and metadata, then read by frontier language models for semantic review and holistic evaluation. What was checked, and what those results do and do not mean, is explained in the back of the book.

This Clearview Editions hardcover is built on a production standard that significantly exceeds the industry norm for large-print publishing. The body text is set at 18-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next on 27-point leading, 1.5 line spacing --- the minimum WCAG 2.2 Level AAA Success Criterion 1.4.8 sets for a block of text, and the figure UKAAF's large-print guidance gives as well. The leading North American large-print hardcover imprints typically set their body text at 16 point, and most large-print trade paperbacks release at 14 to 16 point. At 18 point, Clearview Editions offers text that is measurably larger than every other major large-print publisher, specifically for readers with low vision, macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or any visual condition that makes standard trade print frustrating or impossible to read for long stretches. The trim size is equally generous. Clearview Editions is printed on a 7x10-inch page, substantially larger than the 6x9 hardcover that is standard in the large-print industry and roughly 50 percent larger by area than the 5x8 trade paperback trim most legacy large-print paperback imprints use.

The extra page area is deliberate: it allows the 18-point body to set at the 50-to-55 character line length that reading-fatigue research identifies as optimal, without the narrow text columns and cramped margins that plague smaller-trim large-print books. The body font, Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, was developed by the Braille Institute of America specifically to maximize letter recognition for readers with low vision, macular degeneration, and visual processing differences. It distinguishes between commonly-confused letter pairs - lowercase l versus uppercase I, the digit 0 versus uppercase O, b versus d, p versus q - using distinctive shape features that preserve readability even under eye strain. Text is set ragged right with no word division: WCAG 2.2 1.4.8 and UKAAF both advise against justifying large-print text, since the uneven word spacing it creates is harder to track, and against breaking a word across a line ending, since the reader then has to reassemble it. The text of this edition is faithfully preserved from the original public-domain source with the full structural integrity of parts and chapters as the author intended, and every part and chapter is bookmarked in the PDF outline for readers using digital reading devices or reading software. Clarity first.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) is one of the handful of novelists whose work reshaped what the novel could be used for: not just to tell a story but to stage an argument inside a mind under extreme pressure. Crime and Punishment (1866) is the book most responsible for that reputation. It is widely regarded as the founding text of the modern psychological novel, and its influence runs directly through Nietzsche's engagement with Dostoyevsky's ideas, through Freud's writing on guilt, and through nearly every twentieth-century novelist who tried to render a character's interior moral collapse from the inside rather than describing it from without. Dostoyevsky's authority to write this book was not academic. In 1849 he was arrested for participating in the Petrashevsky Circle, a group that discussed banned political and social texts, and was sentenced to death; he stood before a firing squad in a staged mock execution before a last-minute reprieve commuted the sentence to Siberian penal servitude, which he served for four years. That direct experience of the state's power to condemn, and of a convict's daily reality, sits underneath every page of Raskolnikov's story - this is a writer who did not have to imagine what a sentence and a cell felt like. The novel's pull on readers has never depended on foreknowledge of Russian history: the core engine is a murder committed for a theory, and the unbearable, escalating psychological unraveling that follows it, which reads as immediately today as it did in 1866. This Clearview Editions large-print printing - 18-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, ragged-right, with no word-division - gives low-vision and aging readers unhurried access to a long, demanding classic that is usually available to them only in abridged or audio form.
