i just finished reading crime and punishment, the Garett translation, and i thought the translation was ok, but going forward in my ventures into russian literature, i figure id pay more attention to the translator

can you recommend me which translations i should seek that are the MOST READABLE? i dont care about the 'patrician' choice or whatever, you can memearrow in any other thread, but im looking for the most straightforward, most readable translations

works im interested (although, pls feel free to contribute any other works and good translations):

>war and peace
>the brothers karamazov
>notes from the underground
>anna karenina
> the idiot

merci beaucoup

Garnett Is the most readable. It's nothing like a real translation. Her Tolstoy sounds like Dostoevsky, etc. it's all smoothed out and incredibly inaccurate. P&V or don't even bother.

This. Pevear & Volokhonsky. If you need convincing, their footnotes at the start of Notes From Underground sums up what makes their translation style most effective
