Crime and Punishment

CHAPTER II
17/32

As you like for all I care.

I have no lessons, do you see, and I don't care about that, but there's a bookseller, Heruvimov--and he takes the place of a lesson.
I would not exchange him for five lessons.

He's doing publishing of a kind, and issuing natural science manuals and what a circulation they have! The very titles are worth the money! You always maintained that I was a fool, but by Jove, my boy, there are greater fools than I am! Now he is setting up for being advanced, not that he has an inkling of anything, but, of course, I encourage him.

Here are two signatures of the German text--in my opinion, the crudest charlatanism; it discusses the question, 'Is woman a human being ?' And, of course, triumphantly proves that she is.

Heruvimov is going to bring out this work as a contribution to the woman question; I am translating it; he will expand these two and a half signatures into six, we shall make up a gorgeous title half a page long and bring it out at half a rouble.
