I got pic related for roughly 5$ only it is translated by Constance Garnett. Are her translations any good or have I bought myself a dust collector?

Don't listen to the poster above, while her sentences flow together well, they sound excessively "English" and all her translated books have the bad habit of being told in a similar voice, which clearly is unlikely when you jump from Tolstoy to Dostoevsky and such.

I can't cite any examples off the top of my head, but there's this one in Crime and Punishment I believe when she shortens an entire paragraph of description to just one meager-sounding sentence that's just an English idiom

Do you have any good yranslator to recommend? I'll keep my translation by Garnett for now and see if what you say is true.

Tolstoy is worthless outside of Russian.
