Avoid Constance Garnett

>>9596364
Just pirate it on #bookz. On some ebooks with many translations you see many one star reviews because they got a translation that they didn't want

Avoid avoiding the avoidance of Constance Garnett.

>>9598754
Why avoid Garnett? Is it too old of a translation? Does he over-interpret?

>>9600546
avoiding the avoidance of avoiding Constance Garnett must be avoided.

>he
Constance was a woman.
There is no reason to avoid her work in translation, besides a few modern interpretations that are slightly different. I would say compare a few different translations, see which scans best for you, and pick that one. Come back later to make choices on the specific needs fulfilled in translations, you'll need to get into russian lit before you go through that divine suffering.
