My Penguin Crime and Punishment

We print the words, you do the covers

We've published seven more Classics with naked front covers and this time there's a twist... Six of the titles have been chosen by six bands and they've all done their own covers for them.

Why not design your own cover for My Penguin? You can choose from Dracula, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Lost Estate, Aesop's Fables, Animal Farm, Steppenwolf and The Great Gatsby. Not forgetting The Picture of Dorian Gray, Emma, Meditations, The Waves, Grimm's Magic Tales and Crime and Punishment.

That cover is naked, put something on it.


Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden prostitute, can offer the chance of redemption.
