Original edition of the first French translation of the book, which "was the first of the great novels that made Dostoyevsky's name famous abroad. He was, and still is, the most famous and popular of them, perhaps because of the immediate and captivating influence that a subject with a police theme inevitably has" (Laffont-Bompiani).
