Is this the best translation?
>>8948743
I've read C&P and The Idiot by McDuff and thought that they were great. Not an expert obviously, and I don't speak Russian, so I can't judge the quality of his translations on these terms, but for me when I was reading them I loved them.
I tried a P&V translation of The Idiot and it really didn't flow.

It doesnt matter because his prose is shit anyway
>>8948794
Whose prose?
>>8948743
Among the best, yes.
when it comes to dosto, anything but p&v is fine
>>8948821
........................that is correct.
P&V and unrevised Garnett are the only actual bad translations
>>8948836
What about revised Garnett?
>>8948743
Avsey is excellent as well.
I made a thread sometime last year comparing the song... I'll dig up the pics

mcduff is very good, or mcreynolds-revised-garnett, i think avsey is a little overrated and simplified, but not bad
